Bath Re-enamelling in Canonbie
Bath re-enamelling across Canonbie and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Bath re-enamelling in Canonbie without replacing anything
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. We regularly repair acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are thin, worn enamel in places and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Common problems we fix in Canonbie
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Stains that won’t shift
- Thin, worn enamel in places
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether a trained technician does the job

Common questions in Canonbie
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Do you work in Canonbie?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Canonbie from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you cover the entire of Dumfries and Galloway?
All of Dumfries and Galloway, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A bath split right through the body
- Steel that has corroded right through
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
Should you replace it?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
