Bath re-enamelling at your home in Scar Top

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the day after. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We regularly repair acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are worn patches where water runs and sits and several chips and rust patches.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Repair dripping taps early

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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.

Choosing a repair company

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

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

Surfaces we repair

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

FAQs for Scar Top

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

How long does re-enamelling last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Scar Top?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a full day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Scar Top as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
