How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material

For a price in Montrose, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Montrose

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

People typically call us when they notice something like this:

  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

Comparing quotes

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

10 questions to ask before booking

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Montrose

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

How do I book?

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

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Montrose?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Will there be fumes?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow most of the day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. 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.
