Bath re-enamelling in Hillend, done in place
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are a coloured bath you want in white and thin, worn enamel in places.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Repair dripping taps early
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Store bottles off the bath
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
FAQs for Hillend
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.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you cover the whole of Edinburgh?
We work UK-wide, so Hillend is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re 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.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Steel that has corroded right through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Common problems we fix in Hillend

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Wear marks under the taps
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Lots of chips and rust spots
