Bath re-enamelling at your home in Scarning
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We regularly repair cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Repair or replace in Scarning?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, with the bath ready the following day. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
Common questions in Scarning
Do you come to Scarning?
We do. Technicians travel to Scarning from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Scarning?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
If you are in Scarning and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Scarning?
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Thin, worn enamel in places

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
