Bath Re-enamelling for Middlebie homes
Our technicians come to Middlebie for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Middlebie
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Common call-outs are for a peeling or bubbling previous coating and stains that won’t shift, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dumfries and Galloway.

When to call us in Middlebie
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
People normally call us after spotting one of these:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a full day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Middlebie
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Middlebie questions
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
How long is the bath unusable?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Store bottles off the bath
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Should you replace it?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
