Bath re-enamelling in Portlethen Village, done in place
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Whether it’s thin, worn enamel in places and chips and rust in more than one place, we can help, on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays alike.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Aberdeen.

Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

FAQs for Portlethen Village
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you cover the whole of Aberdeen?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What else we do in Portlethen Village
What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it 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 pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Have chips seen to early
- Never use suction bath mats
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Portlethen Village
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
