Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Butterley, Derbyshire
Bath re-enamelling in and around Butterley: a fixed quote from pictures, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Stains that won’t shift
Can I fix it myself?
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Bath re-enamelling in Butterley without replacing anything
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about a peeling or bubbling previous coating and chips and rust in more than one place.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Why repair rather than replace?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Never use suction bath mats
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Butterley, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Related advice
What we cannot put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- A bath that’s rusted through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
Repairs by material
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 check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Butterley
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
The things customers generally mention when they call include:
- Stains that will not shift
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

Butterley: your questions answered
Do you work in Butterley?
We do. We send a technician to Butterley for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
