How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Bath re-enamelling in Kirkliston, done in place
We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It typically takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. Typical jobs include worn patches where water runs and sits and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Repair or replace: which is better?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What your bath is made of matters
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 check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes most of the day in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Have chips seen to early
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
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.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Kirkliston
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Kirkliston?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A bath split right through the body
- Holes rusted through the metal
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Kirkliston?
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Look out for these signs:
- Wear marks under the taps
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if they find more damage
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the colour is matched
