How we handle bath re-enamelling in Westhill
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about an outdated colour you’d like to change and thin, worn enamel in places.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Westhill and across Aberdeenshire.

How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
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.
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to the best part of a day, tidy-up included.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Repair or replace in Westhill?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
What you get with us
- No extra charge for your area
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- One visit for most repairs

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Westhill. The price reflects:
- How many areas need work
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole bath
- Natural light rather than flash
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Westhill, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
For anyone letting property in or around Westhill, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
FAQs for Westhill
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Different materials, different repairs
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.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
