Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Lochgelly
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Bath re-enamelling in Lochgelly without replacing anything
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Typical jobs include several chips and rust patches and a coloured bath you want in white, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Related advice
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Repair dripping taps early
- Store bottles off the bath
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
What we are called out for in Lochgelly
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Staining under the taps and around the waste

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lochgelly 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 liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Why repair rather than replace?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A metal bath with a through crack
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
