Bath re-enamelling in Aboyne

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Bath re-enamelling in Aboyne without replacing anything

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Whether it’s staining under the taps and around the waste and thin, worn enamel in places, we can help, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Questions from Aboyne

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Do you come to Aboyne?

We do. Technicians travel to Aboyne from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Aboyne?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Acrylic baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Cast iron baths

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For anyone letting property in or around Aboyne, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

What we’re called out for in Aboyne

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Wear marks under the taps

Before you book anyone

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Aftercare advice
  • How changes to the job are handled

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
