Bath re-enamelling for Millerhill homes

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Millerhill

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and an outdated colour you’d like to change.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Cast iron baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Acrylic baths

Repairs by material

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Millerhill

For anyone letting property in or around Millerhill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Midlothian and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Common questions in Millerhill

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Millerhill and the rest of Midlothian. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Millerhill, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What we are called out for in Millerhill

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Look out for any of the following:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

What to look for in a quote

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace: which is better?

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Millerhill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
