Bath re-enamelling for Pittenweem homes

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Bath re-enamelling in Pittenweem without replacing anything

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Whether it’s enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can normally put it right.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Holes rusted through the metal

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Cast iron baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Acrylic baths
  • Pressed steel baths

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pittenweem use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Fife and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

What affects the price in Pittenweem

Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

What we are called out for in Pittenweem

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

Comparing quotes

  • How your room will be protected
  • How to care for the finish
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How the colour is matched

How to compare quotes

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
