Bath Re-enamelling in Braemar
Bath re-enamelling in Braemar without the cost of replacing. Send us pictures for a fixed price, then book a visit.
- Resurfacing from £350
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Lots of chips and rust spots
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.

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.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- 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.
