Landlord and trade work in Selkirk
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Bath re-enamelling in Selkirk without replacing anything
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We’re frequently asked to fix enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, across cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a full day in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Store bottles off the bath
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
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.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
What a repair can’t fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
