About our bath re-enamelling in Sutton

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Typical jobs include several chips and rust patches and an outdated colour you’d like to change, across Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairing versus replacing in Sutton

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take the best part of a day.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access

Related advice

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Holes rusted through the metal

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Sutton

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

What we are called out for in Sutton

Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A coloured bath you want in white

10 questions to ask before you book

Sutton: your questions answered

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Does the bath have to be removed?

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

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Will there be fumes?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Sutton, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
