Materials and what they mean for the repair

Bath re-enamelling in Roseburn, done in place
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. Common call-outs are for stains that won’t shift and an old resurfacing that’s failing, in cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Repair or replace in Roseburn?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Roseburn. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

When we would advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- A bath that’s rusted through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes most of the 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.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Common questions in Roseburn
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
