Bath re-enamelling at your home in Wester Broom

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. Typical jobs include a coating lifting around the plughole and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, in Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Wester Broom. The price comes down to:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Wester Broom, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wester Broom use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Common problems we fix in Wester Broom

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

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

How to compare quotes

Questions from Wester Broom

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How long is the bath unusable?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Do you work in Wester Broom?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Wester Broom and the rest of Edinburgh. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you cover the whole of Edinburgh?

We cover the whole UK, including Wester Broom and the rest of Edinburgh. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a full day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
