How we handle bath re-enamelling in Burgh Muir
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a roll-top that’s seen better days.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Burgh Muir and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

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. The job normally takes a full day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Burgh Muir
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Edinburgh and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What else we do in Burgh Muir
Burgh Muir: your questions answered
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Do you cover Burgh Muir?
We do. We send a technician to Burgh Muir for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure 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.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Burgh Muir
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Thin, worn enamel in places
