Bath re-enamelling for Scawthorpe homes

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to most of the day, tidy-up included.

  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. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Bath re-enamelling in Scawthorpe, done in place

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Common call-outs are for wear marks under the taps and an old resurfacing that’s failing, in cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Common questions in Scawthorpe

Will there be fumes?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Scawthorpe?

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

Do you work in Scawthorpe?

We do. Technicians travel to Scawthorpe from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Most customers in Scawthorpe get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath split right through the body

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Landlord and trade work in Scawthorpe

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

If you manage property in Scawthorpe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Common problems we fix in Scawthorpe

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Customers typically contact us about:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

What your quote should include

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What preparation is included

Our hiring checklist

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Most jobs done in one visit
