Our bath re-enamelling service in the Scottish Borders
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. We work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are staining under the taps and around the waste and a coating lifting around the plughole.
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
What it costs in the Scottish Borders

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Never use suction bath mats
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Why repair rather than replace?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too.

When a repair is not the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- A bath split right through the body
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
FAQs for the Scottish Borders
Are there extra charges for the Scottish Borders?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do you come to the Scottish Borders?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to the Scottish Borders from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes the Scottish Borders. Prices don’t change with location.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
