Bath re-enamelling in Dalmeny without replacing anything

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We’re frequently asked to fix a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and lots of chips and rust spots, across pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Dalmeny and across Edinburgh.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Dalmeny questions

Do you cover the entire of Edinburgh?

Everywhere in the UK, Dalmeny included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Do you need to take the bath out?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Dalmeny?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Repair or replace in Dalmeny?

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Dalmeny clients choose us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Dalmeny. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Dalmeny?

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

What to look for in a quote

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • When it can be used again
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How changes to the job are handled

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dalmeny use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
