We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Bath re-enamelling in Pathhead, done in place
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Whether it’s enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

FAQs for Pathhead
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Midlothian, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EH37 postcode.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Pathhead. The price comes down to:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
If you’re in Pathhead and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes most of the day.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- 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
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
What we are called out for in Pathhead
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
Questions to ask before you book
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How the colour is matched
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Landlord and trade work in Pathhead
For anyone letting property in or around Pathhead, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
