When it comes to sink split restoration, managing damage effectively while conserving the sink's aesthetic and vintage value is crucial. Split basins, particularly vintage or time-honored designs, pose unique challenges. In the past, fixing a damaged basin was uncertain—hairline fissures may be fixed with recoating, but there was no confidence the damage wouldn't propagate. Substantial cracks, specifically on the foundation, often made permanent solutions impossible, leaving residents with limited options.
Vintage basins, prized for their unique styles, often incur breaks, hindering repair processes. Recoating a sink could wipe out precious company marks, which are typically essential to the sink's genuineness. While particular basins' signature looks are still apparent without the mark, numerous clients want to retain these marks for legitimacy. Realizing this, our professionals at Surface Doctor has refined specialized basin split restoration systems to repair washbasins while protecting their brand signatures.
Professional Sink Break Treatment in Portobello by Surface Doctor
With decades of competence, Surface Doctor is proficient in repairing sinks, from small splits to significant damage, including basins with broken fragments. Our sophisticated basin damage restoration techniques facilitate us to renew sinks to their pristine condition while keeping brand marks. Whether it's a vintage wash hand basin or a current basin, we offer reliable, superior restorations.
For example, we repaired a gorgeous large traditional basin for a resident in Portobello. This basin had serious damage on the interior and underside, creating it a difficult candidate for repair. In the past, such damage would have rendered the basin beyond repair or the treatment temporary. Utilizing our proficiency, we precisely repaired the inside surface and outside, rejuvenated the antique valves and waste, and equipped an original plug mechanism. Though this refurbishment took place before we mastered our signature maintenance technique, the sink's unique design secured its timeless appeal. The result was a magnificently reconditioned basin that now operates as a focal point in the customer's bath space.
Preserving Heritage with Advanced Techniques
Not long past this restoration, Surface Doctor improved our sink crack repair process to include signature preservation. In another project, we repaired two magnificent sinks at a residential property. One had a considerable fracture, while the other was heavily discolored and marked but featured a valuable emblem requiring conservation. Our team competently rectified the fissures, restored the soiled sink, and as needed refurbished or renovated the spigots, wastes, and stoppers. The conclusion? Two gorgeous washbasins that retained their original beauty and usability.

Surface Doctor’s non-slip bath and shower tray coating in Portobello enhances security by adding a textured coating to your tub or pan, reducing falls while maintaining a natural look. Our expert solution ensures a durable, translucent anti-slip coating that blends perfectly with your Portobello bathroom.
Tubs and shower trays are designed with glossy, hard surfaces to facilitate simple cleaning and retain their aesthetic. However, these polished areas can become extremely slick when wet, raising the chance of serious accidents. Surface Doctor’s non-slip bath and shower tray coating in Portobello adds a rough surface that provides traction for your stance, promoting safety without compromising style.
Our non-slip bath and shower tray coating in Portobello is perfect for:
Seniors or Disabled Residents: Applying a permanent non-slip coating to an existing slippery bath in Portobello homes for security.
Hotels and Hospitals: Ensuring a durable non-slip solution that’s built-in, avoiding removable pads that can harbour germs or be forgotten.
Worn Non-Slip Areas: Restoring traction on baths or pans where the existing textured area has worn out after years.
Post-Resurfacing: Adding a non-slip finish to restored baths or pans in Portobello, which are too smooth and sacrifice grip. Important: Using a bath mat on a restored tub can damage the new surface.
For example, we applied a non-slip finish to a newly installed plastic bath in Portobello for a tenant with back challenges. The glossy finish was too slippery, and our nearly invisible textured layer ensured safety while maintaining the bath’s appearance.
A hole in your acrylic bath can happen quickly, commonly from a descending object penetrating the skin. Surface Doctor's acrylic bath hole repair in Portobello delivers a economical solution to fix most holes, achieving a seamless result that matches your bath's existing appearance, preventing the need for replacement.
Surface Doctor can address most issues in acrylic baths in Portobello, if we can access the back of the compromised place. For example, a hole between the faucets is repairable if we can reach below the bath to that area. However, fixes may not be possible in:
Base Holes: Aging composite baths often have a wooden base under the base, blocking access to the underside of the damage.
Side Holes: Structural supports under the sides of aging baths can block access, making repairs tricky.
Wondering if your bath's hole is fixable? Unscrew the side panel to confirm if you can reach the damaged area by touch. Submit us a photo of the hole, and our senior expert will examine the feasibility of acrylic bath hole repair in Portobello.
If your acrylic bath is a standard length (e.g., 1700mm) and can be removed with no need for disturbing surroundings, especially if you're handy with installation, swapping the tub may be more economical. A replacement bath comes with a guarantee and a new look. However, if removal involves significant tile removal or dear reinstallation, acrylic bath hole repair in Portobello is a money-saving solution, saving cost and hassle in your Portobello home.
For seamless restoration, we craft a custom enamel blend for every repair. We ensure a seamless finish by custom-matching the enamel to your bath's exact hue. They do this using specialised tinters so the new paint will match your bath exactly.
Believe it or not, but baths, sinks, and shower trays are all differing shades of white, so a pre-made paint will never give you a perfect match.
To ensure an exact match, our technicians create the enamel shade on the day of repair. Trust our highly experienced technicians to match and restore your bath’s original shade.
A bonding layer is carefully applied to ensure the enamel adheres correctly. We fill in all cracks, chips, and dents before applying the final enamel coat. Finally, the technician expertly sprays a fine layer of enamel for a smooth, professional finish.

Our bathtub refinishing in City-of-Edinburgh service delivers a even, lustrous, low-maintenance finish that fixes these concerns, available in custom hues to match your style.
Our Bathtub Refinishing Process in Portobello
Surface Doctor typically performs tub recoating in Portobello in-situ, meaning we don’t remove the tub or disturb installed fixtures or tiling. The process is finished in a few hours, and your tub is usable within a short time. Here’s how we do it:
For example, we refinished a Fireclay bath in City-of-Edinburgh, believed to be an original French design. Massive at a ton, this bathtub required a sturdy support but was transformed to a impressive, perfect, glossy finish. The interior designer and client were overjoyed with the outcome.
Restoring Antique and Victorian Baths in City-of-Edinburgh
Surface Doctor is expert in resurfacing original Victorian cast-iron and antique roll-top baths, which are more luxurious than contemporary acrylic tubs but often show aging. We’ve restored baths left outside for decades, reviving their beauty with a shiny finish that elevates any elegant bathroom in City-of-Edinburgh.
Vintage tubs may have unique characteristics like waves, raised areas, dips, or tiny holes from the initial coating method. These are their unique appeal and are highlighted after recoating due to the reflective gloss finish. Our technicians in Portobello address as many imperfections as possible without weakening adhesion, though some may stay as original characteristics, notably on the tub’s edges.
For instance, we resurfaced an antique roll-top plunger bath in Scotland’s Melrose, renewing its damaged, stained surface into a lustrous work of art.
