Do you need bath re-enamelling in Balerno?
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

- Who will actually do the work

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths

Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Balerno: your questions answered
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you cover Balerno?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Balerno and the rest of Edinburgh. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out.
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A bath split right through the body
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
The process
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow the best part of a day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
