FAQs for Dechmont
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes the best part of a day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Landlords, agents and businesses in Dechmont
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in West Lothian and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Dechmont
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Chips and rust in more than one place

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- The material, if you know it
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
