Bath re-enamelling at your home in Drumlithie
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Our technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are an outdated colour you’d like to change and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Store bottles off the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes the best part of a day.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Drumlithie
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths, ready the next day. We give you timings with the quote.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Aberdeenshire.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Repair or replace in Drumlithie?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
