How we handle bath re-enamelling in Alston Sutton
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. If you’re dealing with worn patches where water runs and sits and several chips and rust patches, we can help, on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Alston Sutton and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Landlord and trade work in Alston Sutton
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your BS26 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Alston Sutton
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Store bottles off the bath
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Alston Sutton?
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Customers generally contact us about:
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

Before we arrive

- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Related advice
Should you replace it?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
