Questions from Jedburgh

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Jedburgh and the rest of the Scottish Borders. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Will the bath be moved?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Jedburgh?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your TD8 postcode.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Bath re-enamelling in Jedburgh without replacing anything

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about stains that won’t shift and several chips and rust patches.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What affects the price in Jedburgh

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Jedburgh. The price reflects:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish

We do not 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.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a full day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Related advice

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Jedburgh?

Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

10 questions to ask before you book

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Repairing versus replacing in Jedburgh

Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the next day. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Jedburgh. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Cast iron baths

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, 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, with the outside refinished as well.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
