Bath re-enamelling in Sutton

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Sutton

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Common call-outs are for a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a coloured bath you want in white, across cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the next day. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why Sutton customers choose us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What we’re called out for in Sutton

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

10 questions to ask before booking

What affects the price in Sutton

Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Sutton. The price comes down to:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

If you manage property in Sutton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Sutton questions

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Sutton?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
