How we handle bath re-enamelling in Scone

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We are frequently asked to fix an outdated colour you’d like to change and stains that won’t shift, on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Scone and across Perth and Kinross.

Scone questions

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Scone included. Travel is included in the price.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Scone?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Are there extra charges for Scone?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Repairing versus replacing in Scone

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a full day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

  • Stains that won’t shift

10 questions to ask before booking

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath split right through the body
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

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

Repairs by material

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.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Never use suction bath mats

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.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed price

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
