Bath re-enamelling in Scunthorpe, done in place
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Typical jobs include chips and rust in more than one place and a coating lifting around the plughole, on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Common questions in Scunthorpe
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in North Lincolnshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Scunthorpe as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Should you replace it?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What we can’t put right
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A bath that’s rusted through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
