About our bath re-enamelling in Nairn
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about a roll-top that’s seen better days and a coating lifting around the plughole.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Why repair rather than replace?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a full day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Nairn
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the colour is matched
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Landlords, agents and businesses in Nairn
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Store bottles off the bath
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
