Bath re-enamelling in Balmedie, done in place
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Common call-outs are for staining under the taps and around the waste and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Balmedie?
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How changes to the job are handled
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What preparation is included
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow most of the day, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have a window or extractor fan available

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Common questions in Balmedie
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Typically, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

Should you replace it?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, with the bath ready the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
