Bath re-enamelling in Scotforth without replacing anything
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the day after. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We regularly repair acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a coating lifting around the plughole and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Scotforth. The price reflects:
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Scotforth, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Scotforth
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Usually, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Scotforth, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
When we would advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A metal bath with a through crack
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
When to call us in Scotforth
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
People normally call us after spotting something like this:
- Wear marks under the taps
- Stains that will not shift
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
Comparing quotes
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How the room is protected while they work
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Should you replace it?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Scotforth. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- One price list for the whole UK
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a full day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
