Choosing a repair company

Bath re-enamelling in Fettercairn without replacing anything

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We regularly repair cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are a peeling or bubbling previous coating and an outdated colour you’d like to change.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Fettercairn and across Aberdeenshire.

Landlord and trade work in Fettercairn

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Should you replace it?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Work done at your home or business

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

Fettercairn questions

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Can you quote from pictures?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Do you work in Fettercairn?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Fettercairn. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Will the bath be moved?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Fettercairn. The price comes down to:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a full day, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
