Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Kyleakin, Highland
Damaged bath in Kyleakin? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Stains that won’t shift
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Kyleakin
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is typically the most cost-effective option. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about an outdated colour you’d like to change and staining under the taps and around the waste.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Kyleakin. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Are there extra charges for Kyleakin?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Common problems we fix in Kyleakin

People typically call us after spotting something like this:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take the best part of a day, including clearing up.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the next day.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
