Bath re-enamelling at your home in Upper Coll
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. We are frequently asked to fix an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and an old resurfacing that’s failing, in cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Respect the curing time we give you
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
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.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Landlord and trade work in Upper Coll
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For anyone letting property in or around Upper Coll, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Questions from Upper Coll
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
Do you work in Upper Coll?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Upper Coll and the rest of Na h-Eileanan Siar. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Common problems we fix in Upper Coll
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Stains that won’t shift
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- 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
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Point us to the nearest place to park
