Bath re-enamelling in Scholes without replacing anything
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Common call-outs are for thin, worn enamel in places and staining under the taps and around the waste, across acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Scholes and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a full day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Common problems we fix in Scholes
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
Why repair rather than replace?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Why us?
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- No need to remove anything

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
- Have chips seen to early
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Common questions in Scholes
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
