Bath re-enamelling at your home in Brailsford
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is typically the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Typical jobs include wear marks under the taps and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, in cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Brailsford
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Derbyshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We give you timings with the quote.
What we are called out for in Brailsford

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Several chips and rust patches
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- An old resurfacing that is failing

- What preparation is included

What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a full day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
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.
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
What your bath is made of matters
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
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
