Bath re-enamelling in Kilchoan without replacing anything
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about several chips and rust patches and thin, worn enamel in places.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Kilchoan
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
When can you do it?
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 there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes most of the day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
What affects the price in Kilchoan
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Kilchoan. What changes the price is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Landlord and trade work in Kilchoan
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kilchoan use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A bath split right through the body
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
Can I fix it myself?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
