Bath re-enamelling for Midstocket homes

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Bath re-enamelling in Midstocket without replacing anything

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about wear marks under the taps and a roll-top that’s seen better days.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Aberdeen.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes the best part of a day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

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

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Midstocket

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

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.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Typically one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

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.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Work done at your home or business
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
