Bath re-enamelling in Inverleith, done in place
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are thin, worn enamel in places and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Steel that has corroded right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A picture taken from further back
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Repairing versus replacing in Inverleith
Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Colour mixed on the day to match

FAQs for Inverleith
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Inverleith?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
When to call us in Inverleith
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
