How we handle bath re-enamelling in Kilbeg
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. If you are dealing with wear marks under the taps and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take most of the day, including clearing up.
- 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.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your IV44 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What affects the price in Kilbeg
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Kilbeg. The price reflects:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
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.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kilbeg
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
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 matters when someone is living in the home.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Have chips seen to early
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Kilbeg
Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, typically first under the taps and around the waste.
Look out for these signs:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Wear marks under the taps
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How changes to the job are handled
- How soon you can use it again
