Bath re-enamelling in Meikle Wartle, done in place

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Our technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are thin, worn enamel in places and several chips and rust patches.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

FAQs for Meikle Wartle

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Aberdeenshire.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

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

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Common problems we fix in Meikle Wartle

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What bath re-enamelling costs

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

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any details about the material

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
