Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

About our bath re-enamelling in Scaldwell

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. If you are dealing with lots of chips and rust spots and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can help, whatever the material.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a full day.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage

Repair or replace: which is better?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Scaldwell questions

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Does the bath have to be removed?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Will there be fumes?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Scaldwell?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Does someone need to be in?

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

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Scaldwell. What changes the price is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your NN6 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
