Bath re-enamelling in Kingsbarns without replacing anything
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We’re frequently asked to fix wear marks under the taps and chips and rust in more than one place, across Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a full day.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Kingsbarns. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why Kingsbarns customers choose us
- One visit for most repairs

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Kingsbarns. The price comes down to:
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
Common questions in Kingsbarns
How long will the bath be out of use?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Do you come to Kingsbarns?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Kingsbarns and the rest of Fife. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
