Bath re-enamelling in Strathy, done in place
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Typical jobs include brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and an old resurfacing that’s failing, in Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.

Strathy: your questions answered
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
A DIY attempt is not 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.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Strathy, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
What affects the price in Strathy
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Common problems we fix in Strathy
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Wear marks under the taps
- Lots of chips and rust spots
What your quote should include
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- When it can be used again
- How to care for the finish
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Have chips seen to early
- Repair dripping taps early
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
