Landlords, agents and businesses in Scole Common
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Scole Common use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
About our bath re-enamelling in Scole Common
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are an outdated colour you’d like to change and wear marks under the taps.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

What affects the price in Scole Common
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Have chips seen to early
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Advice
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
FAQs for Scole Common
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Common problems we fix in Scole Common
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Wear marks under the taps
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
