Bath re-enamelling in Roxburgh, done in place
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. If you’re dealing with brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can usually put it right, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a full day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Repairing versus replacing in Roxburgh
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Roxburgh. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?
- Colour-matched on site
- One visit for most repairs
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- A year’s guarantee on all work

When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Steel that has corroded right through

Roxburgh: your questions answered
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Landlord and trade work in Roxburgh
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Roxburgh?
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

- A coloured bath you want in white
