Bath Re-enamelling in Tweedbank
Bath re-enamelling across Tweedbank and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Thin, worn enamel in places
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Tweedbank
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. 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 normally put it right.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
What we cannot put right
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Common questions in Tweedbank
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Tweedbank?
Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Clients normally contact us about:

- How soon you can use it again
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Never use suction bath mats
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
