Bath re-enamelling in Rhynie, done in place
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Typical jobs include a roll-top that’s seen better days and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, across cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

What affects the price in Rhynie
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Questions from Rhynie
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What we are called out for in Rhynie
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
What to look for in a quote
- How your room will be protected
- What prep work is covered
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A bath split right through the body
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
Repairing versus replacing in Rhynie
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day, with the bath back in use the day after. 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, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
What we do, step by step
There is 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. Most visits take most of the day.
- 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.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access
