Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Greycrook, Scottish Borders
Bath re-enamelling across Greycrook and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Several chips and rust patches
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Bath re-enamelling in Greycrook without replacing anything
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. If you are dealing with staining under the taps and around the waste and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Greycrook, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

When to call us in Greycrook
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How the colour is matched
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Who turns up on the day
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Greycrook questions
What happens after I send pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you work in Greycrook?
We do. We send a technician to Greycrook for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the following day. We give you timings with the quote.

How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- 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.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Should you replace it?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day, with the bath back in use the next day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
