Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Common questions in Footdee
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Aberdeen.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a full day.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Footdee. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What we work on
- Pressed steel baths

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
