Can I fix it myself?

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

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Bath re-enamelling in Kinmundy without replacing anything

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are lots of chips and rust spots and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Kinmundy

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do you cover the whole of Aberdeen?

All of Aberdeen, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

How long is the bath unusable?

Generally one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kinmundy 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.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Aberdeen and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

When a repair is not the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

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

Materials we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the following day.

Advice

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Kinmundy. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Kinmundy, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Common problems we fix in Kinmundy

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who will actually do the work
