About our bath re-enamelling in Corstorphine
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We regularly repair cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about an outdated colour you’d like to change and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Why repair rather than replace?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Corstorphine: your questions answered
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Corstorphine?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you cover Corstorphine?
We do. We send a technician to Corstorphine for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Corstorphine. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice
Common problems we fix in Corstorphine
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
Common reasons people in Corstorphine contact us include:
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Wear marks under the taps
- Lots of chips and rust spots
Questions to ask before you book
- How soon you can use it again
- How the colour is matched
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- What prep work is covered
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Repair dripping taps early
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
