FAQs for Baberton
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you cover the entire of Edinburgh?
Everywhere in the UK, Baberton included. Travel is included in the price.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Baberton
We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It usually takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Common call-outs are for a coloured bath you want in white and staining under the taps and around the waste, in cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Baberton?
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is typically perfectly sound.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Wear marks under the taps
- Stains that will not shift
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
What your quote should include
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How the room is protected while they work
- How to care for the finish
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow the best part of a day.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Store bottles off the bath
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
Repairing versus replacing in Baberton
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
