Bath re-enamelling for Sutton homes

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

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.

Bath re-enamelling in Sutton without replacing anything

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Whether it’s a roll-top that’s seen better days and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can typically put it right.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Sutton: your questions answered

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take the best part of a day.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Repairing versus replacing in Sutton

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Colour-matched on site
  • No extra charge for your area

Common problems we fix in Sutton

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Aftercare advice

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
