How we handle bath re-enamelling in Tillydrone
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. If you are dealing with a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and stains that won’t shift, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Common problems we fix in Tillydrone
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

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 resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Tillydrone: your questions answered
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes the best part of a day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your AB24 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Why repair rather than replace?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
What you get with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- A year’s guarantee on all work

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we work on in Tillydrone
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Never use suction bath mats
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
