How we handle bath re-enamelling in Scholes

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. We’re often asked to fix an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and wear marks under the taps, across acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What we’re called out for in Scholes

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Choosing a repair company

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Scholes

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you cover the entire of Bradford?

Everywhere in the UK, Scholes included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Will there be fumes?

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

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a full day, including clearing up.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Scholes as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Scholes. The price comes down to:

  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
