How we handle bath re-enamelling in Dunbar
We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It generally takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. We are often asked to fix thin, worn enamel in places and a coloured bath you want in white, on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When to call us in Dunbar
Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Landlord and trade work in Dunbar
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dunbar use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A bath that is rusted through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths

Why repair rather than replace?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- One visit for most repairs
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Colour mixed on the day to match

How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Advice
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
