Bath re-enamelling in Loch Baghasdail without replacing anything
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Typical jobs include thin, worn enamel in places and staining under the taps and around the waste, in acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Repair or replace: which is better?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Loch Baghasdail
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Loch Baghasdail?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your HS8 postcode.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you cover Loch Baghasdail?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Loch Baghasdail and the rest of Na h-Eileanan Siar. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for the best part of a day. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What bath re-enamelling costs

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

- One sharp close-up of the damage
