What affects the price in Hutton
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Hutton. What changes the price is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Hutton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
About our bath re-enamelling in Hutton
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are chips and rust in more than one place and wear marks under the taps.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Store bottles off the bath
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
What else we do in Hutton

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A metal bath with a through crack

How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes most of the day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Questions from Hutton
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the following day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Hutton?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
