How we handle bath re-enamelling in Burdiehouse
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and an outdated colour you’d like to change.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When to call us in Burdiehouse
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
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.
Repairing versus replacing in Burdiehouse
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day, with the bath back in use the next day. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Why us?
- No extra charge for your area
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- A fixed quote before you book
- One visit for most repairs

Questions from Burdiehouse
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Have chips seen to early
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- 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.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
