For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
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.
Bath re-enamelling in Howden without replacing anything
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We regularly repair cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about stains that won’t shift and thin, worn enamel in places.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Howden?
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Wear marks under the taps
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A coloured bath you want in white
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Who turns up on the day
- When it can be used again
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Have chips seen to early
- Store bottles off the bath
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Can I fix it myself?
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 typically cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

FAQs for Howden
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Howden included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
