Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Meadowbank, Edinburgh
We travel to Meadowbank for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Bath re-enamelling in Meadowbank without replacing anything
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Common call-outs are for thin, worn enamel in places and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Meadowbank as everywhere else we work.

Common questions in Meadowbank
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Meadowbank is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
When to call us in Meadowbank
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

- When it can be used again
- How the colour is matched
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether a trained technician does the job
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A bath split right through the body
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Meadowbank. The price comes down to:
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Other services in Meadowbank
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Meadowbank as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- 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.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
