FAQs for Scapegoat Hill

Do you work in Scapegoat Hill?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Scapegoat Hill. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Does re-enamelling smell?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

How long does re-enamelling take?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

About our bath re-enamelling in Scapegoat Hill

The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It usually takes one visit, and can be used again the following day. We work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are chips and rust in more than one place and wear marks under the taps.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Steel that has corroded right through

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  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.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

What your bath is made of matters

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.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Should you replace it?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
