Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Insch
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Common call-outs are for a coating lifting around the plughole and wear marks under the taps, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
What affects the price in Insch
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Insch. The price comes down to:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Insch, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Common problems we fix in Insch
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Wear marks under the taps

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- A bath that’s rusted through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Insch: your questions answered
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes the best part of a day. We leave the room clean.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- No need to remove anything
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
