Bath re-enamelling at your home in Hillend
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and several chips and rust patches.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Should you replace it?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- No need to remove anything
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Rooms protected and left tidy

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hillend. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
What a repair cannot fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Landlord and trade work in Hillend
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hillend use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a full day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
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 the part we put right.
What we are called out for in Hillend
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Questions from Hillend
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Fife.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
