How we handle bath re-enamelling in Shandwick
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the following day. We regularly repair acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are lots of chips and rust spots and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Highland.

What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- 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.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Never use suction bath mats
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
Repairing versus replacing in Shandwick
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Shandwick?
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Common reasons people in Shandwick contact us are:
- Several chips and rust patches
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Shandwick. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
If you are in Shandwick and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What your bath is made of matters
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.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Questions from Shandwick
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Generally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Do you cover the entire of Highland?
Everywhere in the UK, Shandwick included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
