How we handle bath re-enamelling in Oldmeldrum
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Common call-outs are for a peeling or bubbling previous coating and several chips and rust patches, in basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Different materials, different repairs
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, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
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.
What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to most of the day, including clearing up.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
We price from pictures so you do not 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’ll get a fixed figure back.

- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A coloured bath you want in white

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Oldmeldrum
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Oldmeldrum?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
