Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
About our bath re-enamelling in Thurso
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a coating lifting around the plughole.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Repair or replace: which is better?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Thurso
Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, typically first under the taps and around the waste.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Lots of chips and rust spots
Before you book anyone

- When it can be used again
- What happens if they find more damage
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
How it works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job without visiting.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
