DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Send photos for a quote
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For a price in Calton Lees, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why Calton Lees customers choose us
- We leave the room as we found it
- No extra charge for your area
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Calton Lees?
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, typically first under the taps and around the waste.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How soon you can use it again

The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. 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.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access

Advice
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Calton Lees questions
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Do you cover the whole of Derbyshire?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Are there extra charges for Calton Lees?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Do you cover Calton Lees?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Calton Lees for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
