We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Whether it’s staining under the taps and around the waste and lots of chips and rust spots, we can help, whatever the material.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
When to call us in Armadale

About Armadale
Armadale is about 2 miles west of Bathgate, in West Lothian. Our work suits any type of property, old or new, large or small, as well as offices, shops and holiday lets. Armadale is one of 58 places in West Lothian where we work. You can also see our page for Edinburgh, about 19 miles away.
Our visits in EH48 are booked in the same way as anywhere else. We regularly work on streets such as Ochilview Square, East Main Street and West Main Street. With the A89 and B708 close by, Armadale is easy for our technicians to reach. We also travel to Westrigg (2 miles west), Blackridge (3 miles west), Greenrigg (3 miles south-west), Harthill (3 miles south-west) and Eastfield (4 miles south-west). Larger places within reach include Livingston (7 miles east), Linlithgow (7 miles north-east), East Calder (10 miles east), Broxburn (9 miles east), Ladywell (7 miles east) and Kirkton (7 miles east). Being one of West Lothian’s larger places, Armadale is somewhere we visit frequently.
Around Armadale
Typical jobs here are in homes near The Goth pub, Armadale Academy and Armadale and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Armadale station, about 0.8 miles south of the centre. Further afield, we also cover the area around Armadale Museum (within half a mile west) and Bathgate Castle (2.7 miles east). Not far away are Black Loch and Cockleroy.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Never use suction bath mats
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Armadale: your questions answered
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
How long is the bath unusable?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EH48 postcode.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What your bath is made of matters
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of damage
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a full day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
