About our bath re-enamelling in Rathven
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Typical jobs include chips and rust in more than one place and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, in Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Rathven?
Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- A coloured bath you want in white
- An old resurfacing that is failing

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

- 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.

Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Questions from Rathven
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you cover Rathven?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Rathven and the rest of Moray. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Rathven.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What a repair cannot fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A bath that is rusted through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Rathven
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rathven as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
