Bath re-enamelling in Braemar

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

About our bath re-enamelling in Braemar

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Whether it’s thin, worn enamel in places and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can typically put it right.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Braemar and across Aberdeenshire.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Repair or replace: which is better?

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Will the price change on the day?

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Usually, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

When can you do it?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Braemar

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

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a full day.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the day after.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Most clients in Braemar get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
