What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take the best part of a day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Ceres
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about stains that won’t shift and several chips and rust patches.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Fife.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Common questions in Ceres
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your KY15 postcode.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Common problems we fix in Ceres
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Stains that won’t shift
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Chips and rust in more than one place
Comparing quotes
- What protection goes down before work starts
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Who turns up on the day
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Repairing versus replacing in Ceres
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ceres
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ceres use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Most customers in Ceres get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
