Bath re-enamelling in Comiston, done in place
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Typical jobs include an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, across basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Comiston
For anyone letting property in or around Comiston, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What we’re called out for in Comiston
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, usually first under the taps and around the waste.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Several chips and rust patches
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What aftercare is recommended
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Never use suction bath mats
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
