Bath re-enamelling at your home in Hawick
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We are often asked to fix a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a coating lifting around the plughole, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a full day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the following day.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Hawick, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What affects the price in Hawick
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Questions from Hawick
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
