Bath re-enamelling in Kilmuir, done in place
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are worn patches where water runs and sits and a coating lifting around the plughole.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Kilmuir and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Kilmuir. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Kilmuir. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Repair or replace in Kilmuir?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
What you get with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- A fixed quote before booking
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

Kilmuir: your questions answered
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your IV18 postcode.
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A bath split right through the body
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Kilmuir
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Thin, worn enamel in places
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What prep work is covered
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
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 the part we put right.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- 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.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
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 quote, not an estimate.
