How we handle bath re-enamelling in Cuminestown

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Common call-outs are for chips and rust in more than one place and staining under the taps and around the waste, on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

When to call us in Cuminestown

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

Look out for these signs:

  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How your room will be protected
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Cuminestown. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Cuminestown

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take the best part of a day, including clearing up.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your AB53 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Cuminestown questions

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

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

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Will the new finish last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
