Bath Re-enamelling in South Gyle
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing in South Gyle, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Lots of chips and rust spots
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
About our bath re-enamelling in South Gyle
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We are frequently asked to fix an outdated colour you’d like to change and several chips and rust patches, in acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

South Gyle questions
Do you come to South Gyle?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to South Gyle and the rest of Edinburgh. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What areas do you cover?
All of Edinburgh, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
What your bath is made of matters
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Common problems we fix in South Gyle
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Several chips and rust patches
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
Questions to ask before booking
- What aftercare is recommended
- When it can be used again
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price covers travel
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Repair or replace: which is better?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
