Bath re-enamelling in Sutton in the Elms, done in place

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Common call-outs are for a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and worn patches where water runs and sits, on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.

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

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Keep suction mats out of the bath
Wash away dyes and oils after use

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Repairs by material

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 the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

10 questions to ask before you book

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

How hard the colour is to match
The material
How many items we do on one visit
How many areas need work

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

Details of any past repairs
The material, if you know it
Where you are, by postcode
A close-up of the damage, in focus

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Sutton in the Elms: your questions answered

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Will the bath be moved?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

How long does re-enamelling last?

Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
