Bath re-enamelling for Scottow homes

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Scottow

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about a coating lifting around the plughole and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Repair or replace in Scottow?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually 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.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • No need to remove anything
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One price list for the entire UK

Common reasons people in Scottow contact us are:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A coloured bath you want in white

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Scottow

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

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.

How it works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a full day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
