Bath re-enamelling across Edinburgh: what to expect

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Our technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about an outdated colour you’d like to change and thin, worn enamel in places.

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes most of the day in most cases. We leave the room clean.

First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Prices in Edinburgh

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Edinburgh as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Edinburgh. What changes the price is:

Access to the area
The type of damage
Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Whether we combine several jobs

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Edinburgh. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What we are called out for in Edinburgh

Older baths often have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

Thin, worn enamel in places
A coating lifting around the plughole
Lots of chips and rust spots
A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

Get any chip repaired quickly
Respect the curing time we give you
Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

FAQs for Edinburgh

Does re-enamelling smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
