About our bath re-enamelling in Leven
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We’re frequently asked to fix enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and worn patches where water runs and sits, on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Leven as everywhere else we work.

How it works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a full day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- 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 until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the area is dry

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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.
Should you replace it?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Leven
- Fixed prices from your photos
- No extra charge for your area

FAQs for Leven
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Leven.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Store bottles off the bath
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
