What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Bath re-enamelling in Galashiels, done in place
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Whether it’s an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can help, on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops alike.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Galashiels and across the Scottish Borders.

Common problems we fix in Galashiels
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, usually first under the taps and around the waste.
Look out for any of the following:
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Wear marks under the taps
What to look for in a quote
- Aftercare advice
- Who will actually do the work
- What happens if they find more damage
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Why repair rather than replace?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why Galashiels clients choose us
- No need to remove anything

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
