DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Bath re-enamelling in Longniddry, done in place
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. Whether it’s an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can normally put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Repairing versus replacing in Longniddry
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Common questions in Longniddry
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you work in Longniddry?
We do. We send a technician to Longniddry for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths, ready the next day. We give you timings with the quote.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of East Lothian. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A metal bath with a through crack

- A bath that’s rusted through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Store bottles off the bath
- Never use suction bath mats
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
