About our bath re-enamelling in Sco Ruston

Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Whether it’s a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a coloured bath you want in white, we can usually put it right, on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Sco Ruston. What changes the price is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common questions in Sco Ruston

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will it make a mess?

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

How long is the bath unusable?

Normally one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Sco Ruston, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a full day, tidy-up included.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
