Bath re-enamelling in Shieldaig without replacing anything
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Whether it’s enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can generally put it right, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Should you replace it?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- Work done at your home or business
- Fixed prices from your photos
- No need to remove anything
- Colour mixed on the day to match

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole bath
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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 tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
