Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. If you are dealing with a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and thin, worn enamel in places, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Sutton Common and across Suffolk.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

What we can’t put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair

What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow most of the day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice
What affects the price in Sutton Common
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Sutton Common, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Sutton Common?
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
People normally call us when they notice one of these:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Wear marks under the taps
- Several chips and rust patches
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Common questions in Sutton Common
Do you cover the entire of Suffolk?
Across the UK, and that includes Sutton Common. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Are there extra charges for Sutton Common?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
