Bath re-enamelling at your home in Sutton-under-Brailes
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Our technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and chips and rust in more than one place.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Sutton-under-Brailes questions
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Sutton-under-Brailes. What changes the price is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Common problems we fix in Sutton-under-Brailes
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
Look out for any of the following:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Staining under the taps and around the waste

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
