How we handle bath re-enamelling in Scotby
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. We work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are a roll-top that’s seen better days and wear marks under the taps.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Scotby and across Cumbria.

What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the next day.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Repair dripping taps early
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
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.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
If you are in Scotby and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Scotby?

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Repair or replace: which is better?
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. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Scotby questions
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
