Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. 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.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Sutton Bridge

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about staining under the taps and around the waste and a roll-top that’s seen better days.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, with the bath ready the following day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

FAQs for Sutton Bridge

How long is the bath unusable?

Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Will the bath be moved?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Have chips seen to early

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Our hiring checklist

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes the best part of a day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  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. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
