Do you need bath re-enamelling in Laide?
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Stains that won’t shift
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
Comparing quotes
- When it can be used again
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Laide
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We are often asked to fix a peeling or bubbling previous coating and stains that won’t shift, across acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes most of the day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Store bottles off the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Questions from Laide
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Typically, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Do you cover the whole of Highland?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Repair or replace: which is better?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Laide. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What affects the price in Laide
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
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.
What else we do in Laide
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Holes rusted through the metal
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Laide
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
