How we handle bath re-enamelling in Pitlessie
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Whether it’s thin, worn enamel in places and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can help, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Honest limits
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A bath that’s rusted through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair

- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
Should you replace it?
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 with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
When to call us in Pitlessie
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use. The body of the bath is normally perfectly sound.
The things clients normally mention when they call are:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Chips and rust in more than one place
Before you book anyone
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Aftercare advice
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether a trained technician does the job
How the visit works
Once we’re 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.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Related advice
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
Most customers in Pitlessie get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Have chips seen to early
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
