How we handle bath re-enamelling in Ratho Station
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Whether it’s chips and rust in more than one place and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can help, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Ratho Station
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you cover the entire of Edinburgh?
The whole UK, including all of Edinburgh. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Ratho Station?
Frequently 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.
Look out for these signs:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
