About our bath re-enamelling in Cove Bay
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. If you are dealing with staining under the taps and around the waste and chips and rust in more than one place, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Cove Bay and across Aberdeen.

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Common problems we fix in Cove Bay
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Common questions in Cove Bay
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Have chips seen to early
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Never use suction bath mats
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Cove Bay. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
