When to call us in Bucksburn
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Stains that will not shift
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
Questions to ask before you book
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- When it can be used again
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We are frequently asked to fix a coloured bath you want in white and thin, worn enamel in places, in Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Store bottles off the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Why repair rather than replace?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Bucksburn
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Bucksburn?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
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.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.

- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Most clients in Bucksburn get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
