Bath re-enamelling in Bishop's Sutton without replacing anything

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Whether it’s a roll-top that’s seen better days and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Should you replace it?

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

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.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a full day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

What we are called out for in Bishop's Sutton

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

How to compare quotes

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Bishop's Sutton. What changes the price is:

  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SO24 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
