Bath re-enamelling in Langholm, done in place
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. If you’re dealing with a bath in a colour that no longer suits and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can generally put it right, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

The process
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow most of the day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Langholm questions
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Langholm. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit

- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Chips and rust in more than one place
