Bath re-enamelling in Carnock, done in place

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Whether it’s stains that won’t shift and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can typically put it right.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Carnock and across Fife.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Landlords, agents and businesses in Carnock

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Fife and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Store bottles off the bath

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Carnock questions

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Carnock. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for the best part of a day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole bath

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

When to call us in Carnock

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.

The things clients usually mention when they call are:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

Before you book anyone

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • When it can be used again
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

10 questions to ask before booking

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
