About our bath re-enamelling in Fountainhall
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Whether it’s stains that won’t shift and chips and rust in more than one place, we can help, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Fountainhall
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Fountainhall and the rest of the Scottish Borders. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Do you come to Fountainhall?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Fountainhall and the rest of the Scottish Borders. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Common problems we fix in Fountainhall
Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Wear marks under the taps
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Lots of chips and rust spots
Questions to ask before booking
- What prep work is covered
- How soon you can use it again
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- If travel is included in the price
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we work on in Fountainhall

How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
