Bath re-enamelling in Juniper Green

Bath re-enamelling in Juniper Green, done in place

If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are wear marks under the taps and a coating lifting around the plughole.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Common questions in Juniper Green

How long does re-enamelling take?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the following day. We give you timings with the quote.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. Inside and out.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Edinburgh.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Acrylic baths
  • Cast iron baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Pressed steel baths

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

Repairing versus replacing in Juniper Green

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Juniper Green clients choose us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Landlord and trade work in Juniper Green

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
