Common questions in Burntisland
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Burntisland and the rest of Fife. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Bath re-enamelling in Burntisland without replacing anything
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It typically takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Typical jobs include an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a coloured bath you want in white, in basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Avoid suction-cup mats
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Burntisland. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
