Bath re-enamelling in Ednam without replacing anything
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Typical jobs include lots of chips and rust spots and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, across cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Ednam and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Common questions in Ednam
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across the Scottish Borders.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Typically, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Landlord and trade work in Ednam
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ednam as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Repair dripping taps early
- Have chips seen to early
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
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.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a full day. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Ensure the area is dry
Ask for a price
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Ednam, and we will reply with a fixed price.

- Whether we combine several jobs
