Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Bath re-enamelling in Musselburgh without replacing anything
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Typical jobs include an outdated colour you’d like to change and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Should you replace it?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. 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 pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

When to call us in Musselburgh
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Lots of chips and rust spots
What to look for in a quote
- How to care for the finish
- How changes to the job are handled
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Have chips seen to early
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Musselburgh: your questions answered
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Usually, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you cover the entire of East Lothian?
All of East Lothian, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What affects the price in Musselburgh
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Musselburgh. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It typically takes the best part of a day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Ensure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
