Do you need bath re-enamelling in North Leith?
Often the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Thin, worn enamel in places
What to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- When it can be used again
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What prep work is covered
Bath re-enamelling in North Leith, done in place
We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It usually takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. We’re frequently asked to fix an outdated colour you’d like to change and worn patches where water runs and sits, in Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Questions from North Leith
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you cover North Leith?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to North Leith from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Landlord and trade work in North Leith
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
What we can’t put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A bath split right through the body
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths

Should you replace it?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350.

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes the best part of a day. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Make sure the area is dry
