About our bath re-enamelling in Bridge of Dee

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. We work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are a coloured bath you want in white and stains that won’t shift.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Bridge of Dee. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured

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.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Questions from Bridge of Dee

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Does re-enamelling smell?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you cover Bridge of Dee?

We do. We send a technician to Bridge of Dee for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Bridge of Dee?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DG7 postcode.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Bridge of Dee

Often the bath has just had decades of use. The body of the bath is typically perfectly sound.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How soon you can use it again
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

How to compare quotes

When a repair is not the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Bridge of Dee

  • Pressed steel baths

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes the best part of a day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
