Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, with the bath back in use the following day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Sgalpaigh
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Common call-outs are for an outdated colour you’d like to change and several chips and rust patches, across acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a full day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the following day.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
No two jobs are quite the same, 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your HS4 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Do you come to Sgalpaigh?
We do. We send a technician to Sgalpaigh for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
