Bath re-enamelling in Suton without replacing anything

If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is typically the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Suton

How long does re-enamelling last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

How long does re-enamelling take?

One day for most baths, ready the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Repair or replace in Suton?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Suton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take the best part of a day.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can

What we can’t put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Cast iron baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Acrylic baths

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

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.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

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.

What we are called out for in Suton

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing

Questions to ask before you book

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How your room will be protected
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
