Bath re-enamelling in Ingliston without replacing anything
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are staining under the taps and around the waste and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Ingliston and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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.
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
What we do, step by step
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 we start. You can expect it to take the best part of a day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Ingliston: your questions answered
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How long is the bath unusable?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Which areas do you work in?

What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
