Bath re-enamelling in Westruther 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. Typical jobs include an old resurfacing that’s failing and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, across basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Westruther
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Westruther. Our prices are the same everywhere.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Are you accredited?

Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
When to call us in Westruther
Often the bath has just had decades of use. The body of the bath is normally perfectly sound.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
What your quote should include
- When it can be used again
- What happens if they find more damage
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the price covers travel
Why repair rather than replace?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually 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. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Westruther. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?
- Everything repaired in place
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- A fixed quote before you book

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
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.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Westruther. The price reflects:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Have chips seen to early
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
