Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Belper, Derbyshire

- Resurfacing from £350

Should you replace it?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day, with the bath back in use the next day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Bath re-enamelling in Belper without replacing anything
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Belper

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for most of the day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
FAQs for Belper
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Do you cover the entire of Derbyshire?
We cover the whole UK, including Belper and the rest of Derbyshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
What affects the price in Belper
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Belper. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- One picture of the whole bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
