Bath re-enamelling in Earlston, done in place
We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Typical jobs include chips and rust in more than one place and a coloured bath you want in white, across cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

FAQs for Earlston
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your TD4 postcode.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for the best part of a day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the area is dry

What your bath is made of matters
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.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Repairing versus replacing in Earlston
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Why book with us
- Colour-matched on site
- A fixed quote before you book
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- No need to remove anything

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Earlston. What changes the price is:
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
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 without visiting.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
