What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We regularly repair cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and an outdated colour you’d like to change.

How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take the best part of a day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we work on in Stenton
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repair or replace in Stenton?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, with the bath ready the next day. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Stenton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

- Straight answers about what a repair can do

Common questions in Stenton
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across East Lothian.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Stenton?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your EH42 postcode.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
