Bath re-enamelling in Ashgrove, done in place

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Typical jobs include a peeling or bubbling previous coating and lots of chips and rust spots, in Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Common questions in Ashgrove

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

How long does re-enamelling take?

One day for most baths, ready the next day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

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

Do you work in Ashgrove?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Ashgrove and the rest of Moray. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Repair dripping taps early

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

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

Repair or replace in Ashgrove?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • A fixed quote before booking

Take a look at our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Ashgrove. What changes the price is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
