About our bath re-enamelling in Sotby
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are lots of chips and rust spots and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a full day, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Sotby. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Sotby questions
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Respect the curing time we give you
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
