Common questions in St Andrews
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Are there extra charges for St Andrews?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Bath re-enamelling in St Andrews without replacing anything
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are wear marks under the taps and staining under the taps and around the waste.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What we’re called out for in St Andrews
Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A coating lifting around the plughole

For landlords and businesses
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 matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

The process
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the area is dry

Repairing versus replacing in St Andrews
Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the following day. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Why book with us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- We leave the room as we found it
- Colour-matched on site

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
