Bath re-enamelling in Duddingston without replacing anything
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Whether it’s enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and lots of chips and rust spots, we can usually put it right, on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths alike.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It normally takes most of the day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know about parking or access

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole bath
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Respect the curing time we give you
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
What we’re called out for in Duddingston
Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price covers travel
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
Should you replace it?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
