Bath re-enamelling in Cockburnspath, done in place
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. If you are dealing with enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can usually put it right.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repair or replace in Cockburnspath?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Cockburnspath. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Store bottles off the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes most of the day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
