About our bath re-enamelling in Burnfoot
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and an outdated colour you’d like to change.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in the Scottish Borders.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
FAQs for Burnfoot
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Burnfoot?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Common problems we fix in Burnfoot
Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
Before you book anyone
- Who will actually do the work
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What aftercare is recommended
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a full day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TD9 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Burnfoot. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole bath
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Burnfoot
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
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.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A bath that is rusted through
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Have chips seen to early
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
