Repairing versus replacing in Sotterley
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- No extra charge for your area
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- We leave the room as we found it
See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire bath
For a price in Sotterley, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

FAQs for Sotterley
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Sotterley and the rest of Suffolk. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
Common problems we fix in Sotterley
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Common reasons people in Sotterley contact us are:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A coating lifting around the plughole

When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
