Trusted bath re-enamelling in Inverkeithing

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow the best part of a day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Inverkeithing

If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We’re often asked to fix chips and rust in more than one place and an outdated colour you’d like to change, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Inverkeithing and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What we can’t put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Steel that has corroded right through

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Inverkeithing

  • Basins & shower trays
  • Acrylic baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Cast iron baths
  • Pressed steel baths

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Inverkeithing as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Inverkeithing

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What prep work is covered
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

How to compare quotes

Should you replace it?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Fixed prices from your photos

Read our full price list or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

Inverkeithing: your questions answered

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.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you work in Inverkeithing?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Inverkeithing from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

There’s 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 will reply with a fixed quote.
