Bath re-enamelling in Aberdour without replacing anything
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are a peeling or bubbling previous coating and chips and rust in more than one place.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Aberdour and across Fife.

Common problems we fix in Aberdour
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, typically first under the taps and around the waste.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Stains that will not shift
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Thin, worn enamel in places

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Aberdour. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take most of the day, including clearing up.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Get a quote
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Questions from Aberdour
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Aberdour?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
