Bath re-enamelling at your home in Braepark
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Common call-outs are for a peeling or bubbling previous coating and chips and rust in more than one place, in cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Braepark and across Edinburgh.

What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

About Braepark
Braepark is about 4 miles west of Edinburgh, in Edinburgh. Whether you are in the middle of Braepark or on the outskirts, the service is the same: a fixed quote, a tidy visit and a guarantee. Braepark is one of 175 places in Edinburgh where we work.
Postcode districts we cover here: EH4, EH12 and EH30. That includes homes on Avon Road, Essex Road and Braehead Road. Nearby, we also work in Barnton (1 mile south), Cramond (1 mile east), Cammo (1 mile south-west), Bughtlin (1 mile south) and East Craigs (1 mile south). Larger places within reach include Edinburgh (4 miles east), Leith (5 miles east), Bonnington (5 miles east), Greenside (5 miles east), Broughton (5 miles east) and Bellevue (4 miles east).
Near you in Braepark
Around Braepark, we work in homes near Edinburgh and Craigmount High School. For rail, the closest station is Edinburgh Gateway station, roughly 1.8 miles south. Nearby you will also find The Gyle Shopping Centre (1.9 miles south) and Corstorphine Hospital (2.1 miles south-east). Open spaces near Braepark include Corstorphine Hill and Dundas Loch.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A bath that is rusted through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
When to call us in Braepark
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Clients typically contact us about:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- The material
- How many areas need work
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Braepark questions
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Braepark. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
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 come to Braepark?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Braepark and the rest of Edinburgh. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
