Bath re-enamelling in Milltimber

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Bath re-enamelling in Milltimber without replacing anything

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Whether it’s staining under the taps and around the waste and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. We do not add 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.

Questions from Milltimber

How long will the bath be out of use?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

How long does re-enamelling last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Do you come to Milltimber?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Milltimber and the rest of Aberdeen. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

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

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

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

When a repair is not the answer

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Milltimber

Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

Questions to ask before you book

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How the room is protected while they work

Choosing a repair company

Aftercare tips

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

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

What affects the price in Milltimber

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Milltimber. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • The material, if you know it

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to the best part of a day.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
