FAQs for Gorgie
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the following day. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Gorgie
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. If you’re dealing with wear marks under the taps and a coloured bath you want in white, we can help, whatever the material.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Edinburgh.

Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. 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.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price

Related advice
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Store bottles off the bath
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Gorgie?
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Customers typically contact us about:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Several chips and rust patches
- Stains that won’t shift
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
What to look for in a quote
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How the colour is matched
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Repair or replace in Gorgie?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why Gorgie customers choose us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Same prices wherever you are
See our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
