Bath Re-enamelling for Auchenblae homes
Bath re-enamelling in and around Auchenblae: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Bath re-enamelling in Auchenblae, done in place
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We regularly repair cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about an outdated colour you’d like to change and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Auchenblae
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Auchenblae use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Aberdeenshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Auchenblae
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Auchenblae is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Are there extra charges for Auchenblae?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Most customers in Auchenblae get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Respect the curing time we give you
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

- 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.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Make sure the area is dry
