Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
About our bath re-enamelling in Ballater
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. We are often asked to fix an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, in cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

When to call us in Ballater
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Look out for any of the following:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Wear marks under the taps
- Stains that won’t shift
Before you book anyone
- How changes to the job are handled
- How to care for the finish
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repair or replace in Ballater?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why book with us
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Same prices wherever you are
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Work done at your home or business

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Ballater. The price comes down to:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole bath

How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
