Bath re-enamelling in Inverurie

What we cannot put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A metal bath with a through crack

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

Materials we repair

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

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Inverurie

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the next day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Whether it’s a coloured bath you want in white and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can typically put it right.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow most of the day. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • Wear marks under the taps

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work

Our hiring checklist

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Questions from Inverurie

Will the new finish last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

How long does re-enamelling take?

One day for most baths, ready the next day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Is there a smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What affects the price in Inverurie

Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Inverurie. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • What it’s made of, if you know

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
