How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take most of the day.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Aberdeen
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Whether it’s an old resurfacing that’s failing and a coloured bath you want in white, we can help, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Aberdeen. What changes the price is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A bath split right through the body
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
When to call us in Aberdeen
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Chips and rust in more than one place
Questions to ask before you book
- What prep work is covered
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Why repair rather than replace?
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 also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
