Bath Re-enamelling for Rosewell homes
Bath re-enamelling across Rosewell and nearby, typically in one visit.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Several chips and rust patches
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
About our bath re-enamelling in Rosewell
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It usually takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. Common call-outs are for a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, in pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Midlothian.

When to call us in Rosewell
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.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Several chips and rust patches
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Wear marks under the taps
Questions to ask before booking
- How to care for the finish
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How changes to the job are handled
- How your room will be protected
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
Common questions in Rosewell
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
What happens on the day
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take the best part of a day.
- 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.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Why repair rather than replace?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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 typically the cheaper route.
