DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Sutton
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. If you’re dealing with a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and chips and rust in more than one place, we can help.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
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’s the part we put right.
Sutton: your questions answered
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Sutton?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
What affects the price in Sutton
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Sutton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Repair or replace in Sutton?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- A fixed quote before you book
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- One price list for the whole UK

- Acrylic baths

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
