Bath re-enamelling in Sutton-on-the-Forest without replacing anything

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 day after. Common call-outs are for an old resurfacing that’s failing and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, across Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repairing versus replacing in Sutton-on-the-Forest

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What affects the price in Sutton-on-the-Forest

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Sutton-on-the-Forest?

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

Before booking anyone

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

10 questions to ask before booking

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

When a repair is not the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
