Bath re-enamelling in Leith, done in place
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. If you’re dealing with a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’re 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 doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

FAQs for Leith
Do you work in Leith?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Leith for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What affects the price in Leith
Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Leith. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a full day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- 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.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Several chips and rust patches
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
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.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Have chips seen to early
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Leith
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
