How we handle bath re-enamelling in Burghmuirhead
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We regularly repair acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Burghmuirhead and across Edinburgh.

Burghmuirhead: your questions answered
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Do you come to Burghmuirhead?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Burghmuirhead and the rest of Edinburgh. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Lots of chips and rust spots

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
