Bath re-enamelling in Scrooby Top without replacing anything
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Common call-outs are for a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Scrooby Top: your questions answered
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
What affects the price in Scrooby Top

- How many areas need work

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Related advice
Common problems we fix in Scrooby Top
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
What your quote should include
- Who will actually do the work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How your room will be protected
- What prep work is covered
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, a professional repair is worth it.
What else we do in Scrooby Top
What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A bath that’s rusted through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
