About our bath re-enamelling in Innerwick
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. We regularly repair acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Lothian.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Innerwick
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Innerwick. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
If you’re in Innerwick and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Repair dripping taps early
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a repair can’t fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
