Bath re-enamelling in Inverness without replacing anything
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. If you’re dealing with an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Inverness and across Highland.

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Repair dripping taps early
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Holes rusted through the metal
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays

Landlords, agents and businesses in Inverness
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Inverness
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Inverness. The price comes down to:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
Most customers in Inverness get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Repairing versus replacing in Inverness
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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 Inverness clients choose us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- No extra charge for your area
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Normally one visit, start to finish

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow the best part of a day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
