About our bath re-enamelling in Killochyett
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. Typical jobs include staining under the taps and around the waste and thin, worn enamel in places, across cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

The process
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes the best part of a day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

What else we do in Killochyett
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Repairing versus replacing in Killochyett
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
What you get with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Killochyett use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

Killochyett: your questions answered
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you come to Killochyett?
We do. We send a technician to Killochyett for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
