About our bath re-enamelling in Garthdee
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. If you are dealing with several chips and rust patches and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can normally put it right, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Most customers in Garthdee get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a full day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Related advice
Should you replace it?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Garthdee use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Garthdee questions
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Garthdee?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Garthdee?
Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Look out for these signs:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Wear marks under the taps
- Stains that won’t shift
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
What to look for in a quote
- How long it needs to cure
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
