Bath re-enamelling at your home in Chellaston
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chellaston as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Derbyshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Chellaston questions
Do you cover Chellaston?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Chellaston from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Chellaston?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
What we’re called out for in Chellaston
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Chips and rust in more than one place
What to look for in a quote
- How soon you can use it again
- Who will actually do the work
- How to care for the finish
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
What affects the price in Chellaston
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your DE73 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for the best part of a day. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
Should you replace it?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Chellaston. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
