Bath re-enamelling in Goldenacre, done in place
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We regularly repair acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are wear marks under the taps and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Edinburgh.

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Goldenacre as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A metal bath with a through crack
- A bath that’s rusted through
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- The material
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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow the best part of a day.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Questions from Goldenacre
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
