Bath re-enamelling in Scotton without replacing anything

We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Whether it’s a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can typically put it right, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take the best part of a day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  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. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Common questions in Scotton

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Do you cover the entire of North Yorkshire?

We cover the entire UK, including Scotton and the rest of North Yorkshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Scotton?

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
