Bath re-enamelling in Timber Bush, done in place
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Whether it’s an outdated colour you’d like to change and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can normally put it right, on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Respect the curing time we give you
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
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.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Timber Bush
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Edinburgh.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow most of the day, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your EH6 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Related advice
What affects the price in Timber Bush
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
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 over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
