Bath re-enamelling for Scadabhagh homes

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Scadabhagh

Do you come to Scadabhagh?

We do. We send a technician to Scadabhagh for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you cover the whole of Na h-Eileanan Siar?

The entire UK, including all of Na h-Eileanan Siar. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Normally one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is there a smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Bath re-enamelling in Scadabhagh without replacing anything

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. If you’re dealing with a coloured bath you want in white and thin, worn enamel in places, we can usually put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays alike.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

When to call us in Scadabhagh

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, normally first under the taps and around the waste.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

What to look for in a quote

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • When it can be used again
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Our hiring checklist

Why repair rather than replace?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a full day.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

Related advice

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Have chips seen to early

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

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.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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