Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- 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
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
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.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Get any chip repaired quickly
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What else we do in Morningside
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Landlord and trade work in Morningside
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Common problems we fix in Morningside
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
People usually call us when they notice one of these:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Wear marks under the taps
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- An old resurfacing that is failing
What to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the price covers travel
FAQs for Morningside
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Morningside. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Do you cover Morningside?
We do. Technicians travel to Morningside from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
