Our bath re-enamelling service in the Isles of Scilly

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Typical jobs include lots of chips and rust spots and thin, worn enamel in places, in basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for most of the day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  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. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Around Hugh Town

Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to The Bishop And Wolf Public House and Church of St Mary (Methodist). A little further out are St Mary's Hospital (less than half a mile south-east) and Ennor Castle (0.6 miles east). For a walk, there is Mount Todden and Abbey Pool.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface without moving it.

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • When it can be used again

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Landlords, agents and businesses in the Isles of Scilly

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Steel that has corroded right through

FAQs for the Isles of Scilly

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

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.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

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 the Isles of Scilly?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Which areas do you work in?

All of the Isles of Scilly, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
