About our bath re-enamelling in Borrowash
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Common call-outs are for brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, across cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Derbyshire.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Borrowash

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Borrowash
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Stains that will not shift
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Chips and rust in more than one place

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes most of the day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

FAQs for Borrowash
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Store bottles off the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Repair or replace in Borrowash?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
