Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
What we are called out for in Tobermory
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, usually first under the taps and around the waste.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Chips and rust in more than one place
Before you book anyone
- How the room is protected while they work
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Store bottles off the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A photo taken from further back
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.
Tobermory: your questions answered
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Tobermory?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Usually, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
