- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Advice
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Linlithgow
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. If you are dealing with a roll-top that’s seen better days and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can normally put it right.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Linlithgow
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, 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, with the outside refinished as well.
Linlithgow questions
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.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you work in Linlithgow?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Linlithgow and the rest of West Lothian. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What we are called out for in Linlithgow
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
What to look for in a quote
- How the room is protected while they work
- How soon you can use it again
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What happens if they find more damage
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
