Bath Re-enamelling in Restalrig

About our bath re-enamelling in Restalrig
We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. If you are dealing with thin, worn enamel in places and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can normally put it right, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays alike.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Edinburgh.

When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A metal bath with a through crack
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Should you replace it?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why us?
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Colour-matched on site
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Work done at your home or business

When to call us in Restalrig
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A coating lifting around the plughole
Before you book anyone
- How the colour is matched
- What prep work is covered
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the price covers travel

Questions from Restalrig
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Restalrig.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths, ready the next day. We give you timings with the quote.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you cover the whole of Edinburgh?
All of Edinburgh, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Restalrig?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Do you come to Restalrig?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Restalrig. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
What affects the price in Restalrig
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole bath
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
