Bath re-enamelling in Bolsover without replacing anything
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Common call-outs are for a coloured bath you want in white and a coating lifting around the plughole, across pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Advice
Bolsover questions
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you cover Bolsover?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Bolsover. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What else we do in Bolsover
What affects the price in Bolsover
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your S44 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Never use suction bath mats
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
