Bath re-enamelling near Torry

The process

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a full day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Torry

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. Typical jobs include a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and wear marks under the taps, in basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

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.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Common problems we fix in Torry

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
