Do you need bath re-enamelling in Crombie?
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A coating lifting around the plughole

Bath re-enamelling in Crombie, done in place
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. If you are dealing with a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and chips and rust in more than one place, we can help, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Fife and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Have chips seen to early
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow the best part of a day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
Most customers in Crombie get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Crombie questions
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Repair or replace in Crombie?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, 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’s what we repair.
