About our bath re-enamelling in Closeburn
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We’re frequently asked to fix stains that won’t shift and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, across cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What else we do in Closeburn
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take the best part of a day, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- 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.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the next day.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can

Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Have chips seen to early
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Common questions in Closeburn
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Closeburn?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Closeburn
