What your bath is made of matters
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 is what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
FAQs for Comely Bank
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Do you work in Comely Bank?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Comely Bank and the rest of Edinburgh. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Comely Bank is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Comely Bank. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a full day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your EH4 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Have chips seen to early
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Repair or replace in Comely Bank?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
