Bath re-enamelling in Scotland without replacing anything
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are several chips and rust patches and stains that won’t shift.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Scotland and across Leeds.

About Scotland
Scotland is about 2 miles north of Horsforth, in Leeds. We agree a date that works for you, and we will give you an arrival time in advance, so there is no waiting around. We work in all 198 towns and villages in Leeds.
All of LS18 is within our area, from the main roads to the quietest streets. We also cover the places around Scotland: Moor Side (1 mile north), Cookridge (1 mile east), Tinshill (1 mile south-east), Horsforth (2 miles south) and Rawdon (2 miles south-west). Within a short drive, we also cover Leeds (5 miles south-east), Morley (8 miles south), Pudsey (4 miles south), Rothwell (10 miles south-east), Beeston (7 miles south-east) and Farsley (4 miles south).
Landmarks near Scotland
Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to Cookridge Holy Trinity Church of England Primary School, Fox And Hounds Public House and Horsforth School. The closest station to Scotland is Horsforth station, roughly 1 mile south-east. Nearby you’ll also find High Royds Hospital Railway (4 miles north-west) and Horsforth Village Museum (1.6 miles south). Open spaces near Scotland include Rawdon Billing and Yeadon Tarn.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take most of the day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
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.
Scotland: your questions answered
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you cover Scotland?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Scotland and the rest of Leeds. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Never use suction bath mats
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Have chips seen to early
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Common problems we fix in Scotland
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
The things customers generally mention when they call are:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Wear marks under the taps

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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.
Landlord and trade work in Scotland
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Scotland as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Repair or replace in Scotland?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What a repair can’t fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
