Bath re-enamelling at your home in Torphins
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about chips and rust in more than one place and a coating lifting around the plughole.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A bath split right through the body
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
We don’t add 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.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- The material, if you know it
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What else we do in Torphins
Common problems we fix in Torphins
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Stains that won’t shift
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Several chips and rust patches
Before booking anyone
- If travel is included in the price
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Torphins
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Torphins.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Do you work in Torphins?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Torphins. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
How it works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a full day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Torphins
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Aberdeenshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
If you manage property in Torphins, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Respect the curing time we give you
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.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
