About our bath re-enamelling in Lochluichart
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. If you’re dealing with several chips and rust patches and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a full day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

What we are called out for in Lochluichart
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Wear marks under the taps
- Several chips and rust patches

FAQs for Lochluichart
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Repairing versus replacing in Lochluichart
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 whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- Colour-matched on site
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Same prices wherever you are
See our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
