Bath re-enamelling in Ferryden without replacing anything
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Whether it’s a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can generally put it right.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

For landlords and businesses
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 is easier on the people living there.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Common problems we fix in Ferryden
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What aftercare is recommended
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Questions from Ferryden
Do you cover Ferryden?
We do. Technicians travel to Ferryden from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for most of the day from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
