About our bath re-enamelling in Roanheads
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are worn patches where water runs and sits and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Aberdeenshire.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
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 is what we repair.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
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.
The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take the best part of a day, including clearing up.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the following day.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your AB42 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

When to call us in Roanheads
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
