Bath re-enamelling in Wester Hailes without replacing anything
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are an old resurfacing that’s failing and several chips and rust patches.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

FAQs for Wester Hailes
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Do you work in Wester Hailes?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Wester Hailes and the rest of Edinburgh. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
When to call us in Wester Hailes
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- One price list for the entire UK
See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
