Repairing versus replacing in Hillside
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. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Colour-matched on site

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Hillside
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. We work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What affects the price in Hillside
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Work for landlords and builders
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 photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Common questions in Hillside
Do you work in Hillside?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Hillside and the rest of Aberdeenshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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 generally cheaper.
