How we handle bath re-enamelling in Lilliesleaf
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are stains that won’t shift and a roll-top that’s seen better days.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

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
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Lilliesleaf questions
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Lilliesleaf.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What else we do in Lilliesleaf
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in the Scottish Borders and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Lilliesleaf

Repair or replace in Lilliesleaf?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why Lilliesleaf clients choose us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take most of the day, including clearing up.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Common problems we fix in Lilliesleaf
Often the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.
Customers generally contact us about:
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Wear marks under the taps
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
What to look for in a quote
- How the room is protected while they work
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether a trained technician does the job
