What we’re called out for in Clerkhill

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A roll-top that is seen better days

If you live in one of the older homes near a church such as Peterhead, it may still have its original cast iron bath, which is well worth repairing or re-enamelling rather than replacing.

What to look for in a quote

Bath re-enamelling in Clerkhill, done in place

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about wear marks under the taps and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.

In a place the size of Clerkhill, we’re usually working in a family home or a bungalow. One visit is normally enough.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it. Visits around Clerkhill are generally simple: we park, protect the room and get started.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space clear if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Open a window if you can

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Repairing versus replacing in Clerkhill

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Around Clerkhill, arranging several trades for a replacement can take a while. A repair needs just one visit.

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.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Clerkhill

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

Landlord and trade work in Clerkhill

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Clerkhill as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Aberdeenshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Never use suction bath mats

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

FAQs for Clerkhill

Can you restore the original baths in an older house in Clerkhill?

Often, yes: original pieces are generally worth keeping. Send us photos and we will tell you what’s possible.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Will there be fumes?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Typically, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
