Questions from Scawby

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will there be fumes?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Scawby

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a coating lifting around the plughole.

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

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A metal bath with a through crack

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

  • Acrylic baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Basins & shower trays

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Scawby. The price comes down to:

  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Scawby?

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

Customers typically contact us about:

  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Comparing quotes

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Scawby. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

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

How it works

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
