Here we cover the AB54 postcode area. Kennethmont is on the B9002, so it’s easy for us to reach.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Kennethmont

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. If you are dealing with chips and rust in more than one place and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kennethmont

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, with the bath ready the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

See our prices page or bath cost comparison.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Common questions in Kennethmont

Do you work in Kennethmont?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Kennethmont from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Does the bath have to be removed?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Kennethmont?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your AB54 postcode.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Kennethmont?

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

What to look for in a quote

  • What prep work is covered
  • When it can be used again
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

How to compare quotes

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area

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

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole bath

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
