How we handle bath re-enamelling in Eddleston
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Eddleston: your questions answered
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you cover Eddleston?
We do. We send a technician to Eddleston for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Store bottles off the bath
- Have chips seen to early
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Should you replace it?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- 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 day after.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
