Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Fernieside, Edinburgh
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing for homes and businesses in Fernieside and across Edinburgh. Send photos for a free, fixed quote.
- Resurfacing from £350
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Lots of chips and rust spots
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Never use suction bath mats
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Fernieside
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. Whether it’s worn patches where water runs and sits and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
Questions from Fernieside
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

What else we do in Fernieside
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Fernieside. The price reflects:
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the entire bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Fernieside
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
Can I fix it myself?
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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
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.
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 what we repair.
