What else we do in North Kessock
Common questions in North Kessock
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Are there extra charges for North Kessock?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
What affects the price in North Kessock
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a full day. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
