What happens on the day
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to the best part of a day, tidy-up included.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice
Bath re-enamelling in Kirkcaldy, done in place
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. If you’re dealing with chips and rust in more than one place and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can help.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Have chips seen to early
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Respect the curing time we give you
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Kirkcaldy
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Fife and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Kirkcaldy
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Kirkcaldy?
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Stains that won’t shift
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Wear marks under the taps
- Chips and rust in more than one place
What to look for in a quote
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Who turns up on the day
- What prep work is covered
- How soon you can use it again
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Kirkcaldy. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- Fixed prices from your pictures
