When to call us in Bruntsfield
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Bruntsfield
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We regularly repair acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are an outdated colour you’d like to change and worn patches where water runs and sits.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. 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 look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. 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 photos.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Bruntsfield
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Edinburgh and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

FAQs for Bruntsfield
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
