How we handle bath re-enamelling in Laurencekirk

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. Typical jobs include a peeling or bubbling previous coating and staining under the taps and around the waste, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Laurencekirk: your questions answered

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

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A bath that’s rusted through

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

Why repair rather than replace?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, with the bath ready the following day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Laurencekirk. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Laurencekirk, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Landlord and trade work in Laurencekirk

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

When to call us in Laurencekirk

Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

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, then guarantee it for a year.
