Bath Re-enamelling in Edinburgh

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Edinburgh

We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It usually takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are stains and limescale marks that are etched in and lots of chips across the bath.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Edinburgh. Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why Edinburgh customers choose us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take most of the day. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Edinburgh

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, usually first under the taps and around the waste. Once the surface is rough, it stains and holds dirt, and no amount of scrubbing brings the shine back.

People usually call us after spotting one of these:

  • Worn patches under the taps
  • Dull, rough enamel that won’t come clean
  • Stains and limescale marks that are etched in
  • A previous resurfacing that is peeling

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What prep work is covered

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking before we start, and tidy up when we finish.

What guarantee do I get?

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
