Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in East Linton, East Lothian
We travel to East Linton for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A coating lifting around the plughole
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
About our bath re-enamelling in East Linton
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Common call-outs are for stains that won’t shift and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, in pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should you replace it?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a full day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in East Linton
How long is the bath unusable?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
What we are called out for in East Linton
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Thin, worn enamel in places
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- When it can be used again
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the room is protected while they work
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
