Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Haddington, East Lothian
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing in Haddington, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Several chips and rust patches
DIY kit or professional repair?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Bath re-enamelling in Haddington, done in place
We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It normally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Common call-outs are for a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Haddington. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Haddington?
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A coloured bath you want in white
Questions to ask before booking
- How your room will be protected
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Haddington: your questions answered
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Haddington.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
