Advice
Bath re-enamelling in Clermiston without replacing anything
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and chips and rust in more than one place.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

- An outdated colour you’d like to change

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Clermiston. What changes the price is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Clermiston. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Store bottles off the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Questions from Clermiston
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you work in Clermiston?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Clermiston and the rest of Edinburgh. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
