Bath Re-enamelling for Sutton Courtenay homes
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing for homeowners, landlords and businesses in Sutton Courtenay. Free, fixed quotes from your pictures.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Wear marks under the taps
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Sutton Courtenay
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It normally takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. Typical jobs include brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, in acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Repairing versus replacing in Sutton Courtenay
Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Questions from Sutton Courtenay
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Holes rusted through the metal
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sutton Courtenay use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes the best part of a day for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
