Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Greenbank, Edinburgh
Bath re-enamelling across Greenbank and nearby, usually in one visit.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A coating lifting around the plughole
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Have chips seen to early
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Greenbank

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Wear marks under the taps
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Advice
Repair or replace in Greenbank?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally 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. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
