Bath re-enamelling in West Pilton without replacing anything
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. If you are dealing with stains that won’t shift and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can help, on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops alike.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Common questions in West Pilton
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, West Pilton included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- 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.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we can’t do:

For anyone letting property in or around West Pilton, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
