About our bath re-enamelling in St Vigeans

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and wear marks under the taps.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should you replace it?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No extra charge for your area
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for most of the day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

What we are called out for in St Vigeans

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, generally first under the taps and around the waste.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A roll-top that is seen better days

What to look for in a quote

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • When it can be used again
  • How your room will be protected

Choosing a repair company

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Where you are, by postcode

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

St Vigeans: your questions answered

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

How long does re-enamelling last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

When we’d advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A bath that’s rusted through

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Basins & shower trays
  • Cast iron baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Acrylic baths
  • Pressed steel baths

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
