Bath re-enamelling for Scot Hay homes

Bath re-enamelling in Scot Hay, done in place

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. We work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and an old resurfacing that’s failing.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What we’re called out for in Scot Hay

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Look out for these signs:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

Before you book anyone

  • How soon you can use it again
  • What preparation is included
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How changes to the job are handled

Our hiring checklist

When we would advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Never use suction bath mats

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

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.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What your bath is made of matters

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 pay close attention there.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes most of the day for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Scot Hay questions

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Will the new finish last?

Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do you cover Scot Hay?

We do. We send a technician to Scot Hay for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
