Bath re-enamelling in Belhaven without replacing anything
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the following day. Typical jobs include an old resurfacing that’s failing and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Belhaven
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you cover the entire of East Lothian?
Everywhere in the UK, Belhaven included. Travel is included in the price.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

What else we do in Belhaven
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, 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 tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A bath that is rusted through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
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. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Landlord and trade work in Belhaven
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in East Lothian and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a full day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
