Questions from Sewstern
Are there extra charges for Sewstern?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Sewstern
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. If you are dealing with lots of chips and rust spots and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When a repair is not the answer
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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.
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

Repair or replace in Sewstern?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, with the bath back in use the day after. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Sewstern. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Take a look at our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Sewstern, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes most of the day for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear the area around the damage
