About our bath re-enamelling in Drumbrae
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. If you’re dealing with an outdated colour you’d like to change and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can typically put it right, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths alike.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Drumbrae and across Edinburgh.

Common questions in Drumbrae
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
What else we do in Drumbrae
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
What we are called out for in Drumbrae
Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Several chips and rust patches
- Wear marks under the taps
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How changes to the job are handled
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Repairing versus replacing in Drumbrae
Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why Drumbrae customers choose us
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- No extra charge for your area
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
See our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
