Bath re-enamelling in Aviemore without replacing anything

Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are several chips and rust patches and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Aviemore and across Highland.

How to care for the repair

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

  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

If you’re in Aviemore and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Landlord and trade work in Aviemore

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Aviemore

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

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

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Does the bath have to be removed?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

The process

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow the best part of a day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Aviemore?

Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

The things clients typically mention when they call are:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A coloured bath you want in white

Before you book anyone

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What preparation is included

Our hiring checklist

Repairs by material

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath that’s rusted through

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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