Bath Re-enamelling in Bridge of Alford
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing in Bridge of Alford, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Wear marks under the taps
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
About our bath re-enamelling in Bridge of Alford
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Repair or replace: which is better?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Common questions in Bridge of Alford
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you come to Bridge of Alford?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Bridge of Alford for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A bath split right through the body
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
