Bath re-enamelling in Little France, done in place
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Typical jobs include worn patches where water runs and sits and a coating lifting around the plughole, across pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Edinburgh.

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes most of the day for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
