- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A coloured bath you want in white

About our bath re-enamelling in Braidwood
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are worn patches where water runs and sits and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Braidwood and across South Lanarkshire.

What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a full day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

What affects the price in Braidwood
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How much damage there is
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Braidwood
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Have chips seen to early
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Braidwood: your questions answered
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Typically, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Braidwood?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Repairing versus replacing in Braidwood

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
