Bath re-enamelling in Ancrum without replacing anything
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Whether it’s an old resurfacing that’s failing and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can normally put it right, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths alike.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

When to call us in Ancrum

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Stains that won’t shift
- Wear marks under the taps
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Have chips seen to early
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Respect the curing time we give you
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Ancrum
Do you work in Ancrum?
We do. We send a technician to Ancrum for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
