Bath Re-enamelling for Livingston Village homes
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing at your home in Livingston Village, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Bath re-enamelling in Livingston Village, done in place
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are a coloured bath you want in white and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Livingston Village questions
How long will the bath be out of use?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you cover the whole of West Lothian?
The whole UK, including all of West Lothian. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Landlord and trade work in Livingston Village
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Common problems we fix in Livingston Village
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Wear marks under the taps
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
Before you book anyone
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How to look after the finish
- How the room is protected while they work
- How changes to the job are handled
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What else we do in Livingston Village
Why repair rather than replace?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- 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
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your EH54 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Related advice
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Store bottles off the bath
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
