Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Sutton upon Tern

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • When it can be used again
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

Why repair rather than replace?

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Prices start from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • No need to remove anything

See our pricing and bath cost comparison.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

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

What we work on

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

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a full day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

FAQs for Sutton upon Tern

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Will there be fumes?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
