Bath re-enamelling in Scarcroft

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Whether it’s an outdated colour you’d like to change and several chips and rust patches, we can help, whatever the material.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Scarcroft

Does re-enamelling smell?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

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

Do you need to take the bath out?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Landlord and trade work in Scarcroft

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

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

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Repair or replace in Scarcroft?

Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • The type of damage

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For a price in Scarcroft, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Common problems we fix in Scarcroft

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
