Bath Re-enamelling for Torridon homes
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing at your home in Torridon, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Torridon
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. Typical jobs include a bath in a colour that no longer suits and lots of chips and rust spots, across acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Repairing versus replacing in Torridon
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, 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. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How it works
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a full day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Torridon
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Torridon use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
What we cannot put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A bath split right through the body
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Holes rusted through the metal
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Common questions in Torridon
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Torridon?
Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
People generally call us when they notice one of these:
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Lots of chips and rust spots
