What bath re-enamelling costs
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
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Alfreton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Common questions in Alfreton
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Derbyshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
If you manage property in Alfreton, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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 we’re called out for in Alfreton
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Ensure the area is dry
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
