How bath re-enamelling works in East Lothian

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are wear marks under the taps and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow most of the day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

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.
The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Cost

Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

How easy the damage is to reach
How much damage there is
What kind of damage it is
Unusual colours or finishes

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

A close-up of the damage, in focus
The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A wider photo showing the entire bath

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Fix dripping taps quickly

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

What we are called out for in East Lothian

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

A bath in a colour that no longer suits
Worn patches where water runs and sits
Lots of chips and rust spots
A coating lifting around the plughole

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Repair or replace?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too.

Questions to ask before booking

Aftercare advice

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in East Lothian

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Will the new finish last?

Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
