Bath re-enamelling in Kirkton of Maryculter

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Kirkton of Maryculter

We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are an outdated colour you’d like to change and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Aberdeen.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  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 generally ready the day after.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

See our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

For landlords and businesses

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.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

What affects the price in Kirkton of Maryculter

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the whole bath

There is 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 will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Questions from Kirkton of Maryculter

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
