Sutton Mallet: your questions answered
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Sutton Mallet.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Sutton Mallet
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It typically takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. We’re frequently asked to fix staining under the taps and around the waste and a coloured bath you want in white, in Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Sutton Mallet as everywhere else we work.

What else we do in Sutton Mallet
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Sutton Mallet, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
How the visit works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
If you are in Sutton Mallet and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Advice
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Store bottles off the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
