Advice
Bath re-enamelling in Kingussie, done in place
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Common questions in Kingussie
How long is the bath unusable?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A picture taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
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.
Repair or replace in Kingussie?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

When to call us in Kingussie
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Wear marks under the taps
Questions to ask before booking
- How soon you can use it again
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What preparation is included
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Store bottles off the bath
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
