Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Little Brechin

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Common questions in Little Brechin

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Generally one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Do you work in Little Brechin?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Little Brechin for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

How long does re-enamelling last?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DD9 postcode.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your DD9 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

When to call us in Little Brechin

Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Before booking anyone

  • How long it needs to cure
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How your room will be protected

How to compare quotes

Repairs by material

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 the part we put right.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
