Bath re-enamelling for Elrick homes

The process

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a full day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Bath re-enamelling in Elrick, done in place

If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Whether it’s a peeling or bubbling previous coating and stains that won’t shift, we can normally put it right.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Aberdeenshire.

Why repair rather than replace?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

When we’d advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired

Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Elrick?

Often the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is typically perfectly sound.

Customers usually contact us about:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Elrick questions

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

How long does re-enamelling last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Usually, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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