Bath re-enamelling in Taobh Lochaidh without replacing anything
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. Whether it’s a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can generally put it right, on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths alike.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Where we work around Taobh Lochaidh
Taobh Lochaidh (Gaelic: Lochyside) is in Highland. We visit customers in Taobh Lochaidh and nearby villages, so you do not need to take anything anywhere. Taobh Lochaidh is one of 253 places in Highland we cover. You can also see our page for Glasgow, about 75 miles away.
Jobs in PH33 are booked in the same way as anywhere else. You’ll find streets such as Columba Court, Riverside Grove and Old School Court, and we cover them all. Taobh Lochaidh is on the B8006, which makes it straightforward to reach. We also cover the places around Taobh Lochaidh: Caol (1 mile west), Inverlochy (1 mile south), Banbhaidh (1 mile north-west), Corpach (2 miles west) and Fort William (2 miles south-west). If you’re somewhere remote, call first so we can plan the visit.

Should you replace it?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, with the bath ready the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What we’re called out for in Taobh Lochaidh
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Wear marks under the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- What protection goes down before work starts
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Who turns up on the day
- How long it needs to cure
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a full day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the area is dry
