About our bath re-enamelling in Polton
We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It usually takes one visit, and can be used again the following day. We work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Polton and across Midlothian.

What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A bath split right through the body
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a full day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Polton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
For anyone letting property in or around Polton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Polton
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- An old resurfacing that’s failing

Why repair rather than replace?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Why book with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- We leave the room as we found it
- Colour mixed on the day to match

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
