Restoration of 1950's Bosch fridge
Hello,
I am new to this forum and registerered because I need some help with my Bosch fridge. I live in Bromsgrove and I am looking for someone who can refurbish it for me. Its still the old technique in it which is not very economical. Furthermore it could do with a new gloss/paint. Is there a company in the Midands, or a private person who could help me? As I cannot do it myself the fridge is not used at the moment (although still in full working order) and a bit wasted. Thank you so much for your help! |

I do not know how to improve efficiency. Replacing the insulation would probably not be possible.
To get it repainted, try a car body shop. If the fridge is white and you are willing to wait until a white car is painted, then the cost might be reasonable. |

Any chance of some photos? I refurbished our 20 year old fridge a few years ago, the dents were filled with car body filler the lot sanded down and resprayed, a massive improvement. Good luck!
