Bath Re-enamelling in Aberdeen

About bath re-enamelling in Aberdeen

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Common call-outs are for a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and wear marks under the taps, in basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a full day, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

What you will pay

Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Repair or replace?

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice.

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How the colour is matched
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price covers travel

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Aberdeen. The price reflects:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Never use suction bath mats

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A bath split right through the body

Common questions in Aberdeen

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How long does re-enamelling last?

Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

Are you accredited?
