Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

About our bath re-enamelling in Scholes

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We regularly repair cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are stains that won’t shift and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Before and after: an old basin refinished to bright white

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Scholes, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Never use suction bath mats

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

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Repairing versus replacing in Scholes

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Scholes

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Clients usually contact us about:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Stains that won’t shift

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What prep work is covered
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether they match the colour on site
