Bath re-enamelling in Portlethen, done in place
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. We are often asked to fix a coloured bath you want in white and wear marks under the taps, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Portlethen?
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.
Common reasons people in Portlethen contact us include:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Lots of chips and rust spots
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether the price covers travel
- How your room will be protected
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

What affects the price in Portlethen
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Portlethen. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
For a price in Portlethen, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Questions from Portlethen
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Do you cover Portlethen?
We do. We send a technician to Portlethen for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Portlethen as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Should you replace it?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Portlethen. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- A bath that is rusted through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
