Bath re-enamelling at your home in Arbuthnott
We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It normally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are staining under the taps and around the waste and a coloured bath you want in white.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Landlord and trade work in Arbuthnott
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Arbuthnott: your questions answered
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote. There’s no obligation to book.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Arbuthnott?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Arbuthnott
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Repair dripping taps early
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Repairing versus replacing in Arbuthnott
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
