Bath re-enamelling at your home in Gergask

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. We’re often asked to fix chips and rust in more than one place and stains that won’t shift, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow the best part of a day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Gergask

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Stains that won’t shift

Before you book anyone

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How the colour is matched
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Who will actually do the work

10 questions to ask before booking

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

Gergask and the surrounding area

Gergask is about 31 miles south of Inverness, in Highland. Wherever you are in the PH20 postcode area, we carry out the work at your property. Gergask is one of 253 towns and villages in Highland where we work.

Every address in PH20 is within our area. Neighbouring places we cover include Laggan (1 mile south-east), Etteridge (5 miles east), Dalwhinnie (6 miles south), Newtonmore (7 miles north-east) and Kingussie (10 miles north-east). Some remote addresses need extra planning, so it’s best to call first.

Near you in Gergask

We visit homes around Laggan Parish Church and the streets around them. A little further out are Cluny Castle (2.1 miles east). The countryside around Gergask includes Loch Caoldair and Creag Bhuidhe.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Gergask. The price reflects:

  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Gergask. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your PH20 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Repair dripping taps early

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Repairing versus replacing in Gergask

Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Gergask questions

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Gergask.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

How long does re-enamelling last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Do you cover Gergask?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Gergask and the rest of Highland. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
