Bath re-enamelling at your home in Markinch
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. If you’re dealing with staining under the taps and around the waste and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can help, whatever the material.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Never use suction bath mats
- Store bottles off the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Markinch as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
What affects the price in Markinch
Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Markinch. The price comes down to:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Markinch, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a full day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know about parking or access

Places near Markinch
What else we do in Markinch
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
What we are called out for in Markinch
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An old resurfacing that is failing
Questions to ask before you book
- How soon you can use it again
- How to care for the finish
