About our bath re-enamelling in Glengolly
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We’re frequently asked to fix a coating lifting around the plughole and a roll-top that’s seen better days, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Glengolly and across Highland.

Landlord and trade work in Glengolly
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Highland and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Glengolly: your questions answered
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you cover Glengolly?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Glengolly. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Highland.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Glengolly
Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Wear marks under the taps
Before you book anyone
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the price covers travel
The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a full day. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What affects the price in Glengolly
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the entire bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Glengolly, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Repair or replace in Glengolly?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why Glengolly customers choose us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- One visit for most repairs
