Bath re-enamelling at your home in Castleton
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We’re frequently asked to fix several chips and rust patches and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, in Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Castleton as everywhere else we work.

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a full day from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- 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.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What we cannot put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Steel that has corroded right through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths

What else we do in Castleton
Common questions in Castleton
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you cover the entire of Derbyshire?
Everywhere in the UK, Castleton included. There is no extra charge for travel.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
