Bath re-enamelling in Kirk Yetholm, done in place
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We are frequently asked to fix an outdated colour you’d like to change and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, across cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Store bottles off the bath
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes most of the day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your TD5 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Kirk Yetholm questions
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kirk Yetholm as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Kirk Yetholm?
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
Questions to ask before booking
- How long it needs to cure
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether they match the colour on site
