How we handle bath re-enamelling in Sprouston
We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It normally takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and several chips and rust patches.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Sprouston
Do you cover the entire of the Scottish Borders?
The whole UK, including all of the Scottish Borders. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your TD5 postcode.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Do you cover Sprouston?
We do. Technicians travel to Sprouston from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Sprouston
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 matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A bath split right through the body
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Common problems we fix in Sprouston
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Several chips and rust patches
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Aftercare advice
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How long it needs to cure

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow the best part of a day. 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.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
