Bath re-enamelling at your home in Banchory

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are lots of chips and rust spots and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s 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 things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

When to call us in Banchory

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

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

Common questions in Banchory

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes Banchory. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

Will there be fumes?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you cover Banchory?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Banchory. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Banchory

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

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a full day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Banchory. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Banchory. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Roll-top and period baths

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