Bath re-enamelling at your home in Portessie
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and thin, worn enamel in places.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Portessie and across Moray.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
FAQs for Portessie
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Portessie. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
When we would advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths

- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- An old resurfacing that is failing

Landlords, agents and businesses in Portessie
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a full day, including clearing up.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Other services in Portessie
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
