Bath re-enamelling in Hill of Fearn, done in place
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are a coloured bath you want in white and a roll-top that’s seen better days.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Highland.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Hill of Fearn questions
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you cover the entire of Highland?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do you come to Hill of Fearn?
We do. We send a technician to Hill of Fearn for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Open a window if you can
- Ensure the area is dry
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Hill of Fearn. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
What a repair cannot fix
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- Colour-matched on site
- One price list for the whole UK
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- One-year guarantee on every repair
Read our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
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.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Hill of Fearn
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A coating lifting around the plughole
Questions to ask before booking
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How changes to the job are handled
- How soon you can use it again
