Bath re-enamelling in Mid Calder without replacing anything

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Whether it’s a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a coloured bath you want in white, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Honest limits

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Cast iron baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Victorian roll-tops

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • No need to remove anything

See our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Common problems we fix in Mid Calder

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
