Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
About our bath re-enamelling in Gladsmuir
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. If you’re dealing with chips and rust in more than one place and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can generally put it right, on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths alike.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Lothian.

Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Gladsmuir, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gladsmuir as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Common problems we fix in Gladsmuir
Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Thin, worn enamel in places
What to look for in a quote
- How your room will be protected
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Gladsmuir, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Questions from Gladsmuir
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you come to Gladsmuir?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Gladsmuir from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will the new finish last?
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.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
How it works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for most of the day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- 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.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price

Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Gladsmuir
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
