About our bath re-enamelling in Windhill
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a coloured bath you want in white.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Highland.

What affects the price in Windhill
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire bath
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your IV4 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Windhill questions
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
When to call us in Windhill
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Stains that won’t shift
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Wear marks under the taps

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

What else we do in Windhill
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take the best part of a day.
- 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 normally be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
