Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Whether it’s stains that won’t shift and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

For landlords and businesses
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 is easier on the people living there.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Should you replace it?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Kilmuir. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Kilmuir

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Kilmuir. What changes the price is:
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your IV55 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Common questions in Kilmuir
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a full day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
