Bath re-enamelling in Mayfield, done in place
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We regularly repair cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Mayfield and across Edinburgh.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
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 pay close attention there.
Mayfield questions
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you cover Mayfield?
We do. We send a technician to Mayfield for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The material
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
What we are called out for in Mayfield
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.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Wear marks under the taps
Questions to ask before booking
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How long it needs to cure
- What prep work is covered
- Aftercare advice
When we would advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A metal bath with a through crack
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Never use suction bath mats
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
