Bath re-enamelling in Scarinish without replacing anything
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 stains that won’t shift and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can help, on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Store bottles off the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Scarinish
Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Wear marks under the taps
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A coating lifting around the plughole

What a repair cannot fix

- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

Scarinish: your questions answered
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Repairing versus replacing in Scarinish

What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit

Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
