Bath re-enamelling in Bishop Sutton, done in place

We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Typical jobs include an old resurfacing that’s failing and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Should you replace it?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Bishop Sutton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why Bishop Sutton clients choose us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No need to remove anything
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • A fixed quote before you book

Take a look at our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Bishop Sutton

  • Acrylic baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Cast iron baths
  • Pressed steel baths

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bishop Sutton

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.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What affects the price in Bishop Sutton

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Bishop Sutton. The price reflects:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

We price from photos so you don’t 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.
