Bath Re-enamelling for Sourton homes
Bath re-enamelling across Sourton and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A coloured bath you want in white
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Bath re-enamelling in Sourton, done in place
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and thin, worn enamel in places.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Questions from Sourton
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Sourton?
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Lots of chips and rust spots

How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the next day.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
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 and makes resurfacing more work.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
We price from photos so you do not 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, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
