The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take the best part of a day, tidy-up included.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Bonnington
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We are frequently asked to fix chips and rust in more than one place and worn patches where water runs and sits, across pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Bonnington as everywhere else we work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
What affects the price in Bonnington
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Bonnington. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For a price in Bonnington, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Bonnington questions
Do you cover the entire of Edinburgh?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Bonnington. Prices do not change with location.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Are there extra charges for Bonnington?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.
Why book with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- One price list for the entire UK

When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Respect the curing time we give you
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
