When a repair is not the answer

- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Steel that has corroded right through

Bath re-enamelling in Broxburn, done in place
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Whether it’s a peeling or bubbling previous coating and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can help, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What else we do in Broxburn
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Broxburn. The price depends on:

- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
