DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Bath re-enamelling in North Scarle without replacing anything

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. We work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and worn patches where water runs and sits.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

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

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in North Scarle

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Stains that will not shift
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

What your quote should include

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What prep work is covered

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in North Scarle

If you manage property in North Scarle, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Common questions in North Scarle

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Will there be fumes?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in North Scarle.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a full day from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
