Bath re-enamelling in Kelty

Landlord and trade work in Kelty

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

About our bath re-enamelling in Kelty

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are several chips and rust patches and staining under the taps and around the waste.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Fife.

What we are called out for in Kelty

Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

Questions to ask before booking

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

How to compare quotes

Why repair rather than replace?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes the best part of a day. The room is left tidy.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Store bottles off the bath

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Kelty questions

Will the new finish last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
