Trusted bath re-enamelling in Nova Scotia

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Nova Scotia

Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. If you’re dealing with chips and rust in more than one place and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can normally put it right.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Nova Scotia as everywhere else we work.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Nova Scotia

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Cheshire West and Chester.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes most of the day. The room is left tidy.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole bath

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

What a repair can’t fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Nova Scotia

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, with the bath ready the next day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why Nova Scotia clients choose us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

Read our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

When to call us in Nova Scotia

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A coloured bath you want in white

Before booking anyone

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
