Bath re-enamelling for Sutton homes

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

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

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Sutton

If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We are often asked to fix an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and thin, worn enamel in places, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Basins & shower trays

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to most of the day.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Open a window if you can

The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why Sutton clients choose us

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • No extra charge for your area

See our prices page and bath cost comparison.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs

For a price in Sutton, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Sutton questions

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Will the bath be moved?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

Is there a smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
