Bath re-enamelling at your home in Mortonhall
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. We are frequently asked to fix a roll-top that’s seen better days and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, across pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos 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.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Landlord and trade work in Mortonhall
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
If you manage property in Mortonhall, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Mortonhall
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
Questions to ask before booking
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How changes to the job are handled
- If travel is included in the price
- What aftercare is recommended
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Repair dripping taps early
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Mortonhall, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
Common questions in Mortonhall
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What else we do in Mortonhall
Should you replace it?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
