- Resurfacing from £350
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Bath re-enamelling in Roslin, done in place
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the next day. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a roll-top that’s seen better days.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Roslin and across Midlothian.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Roslin. The price reflects:
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Roslin?
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Stains that will not shift
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
Before booking anyone
- If travel is included in the price
- How your room will be protected
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Aftercare advice

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Roslin?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
