Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
About our bath re-enamelling in Stutton
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are a coating lifting around the plughole and stains that won’t shift.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Stutton: your questions answered
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Do you work in Stutton?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Stutton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Stutton?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Stutton?
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Look out for any of the following:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A coloured bath you want in white
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What prep work is covered
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How soon you can use it again
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes most of the day. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- 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.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Stutton. The price reflects:
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
What we can’t put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A bath split right through the body
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day, and the bath is usable the day after. 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.

How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
