Bath Re-enamelling for Cramond homes
Damaged bath in Cramond? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Lots of chips and rust spots
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Cramond
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Common call-outs are for stains that won’t shift and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the next day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Questions from Cramond
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- A metal bath with a through crack
- A bath that is rusted through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
If you’re in Cramond and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Store bottles off the bath
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
