Bath re-enamelling at your home in Chevinside
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Whether it’s a coloured bath you want in white and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can usually put it right, on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Repair dripping taps early
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
What affects the price in Chevinside
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole bath
- Details of any past repairs
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
When to call us in Chevinside
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

Repair or replace in Chevinside?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chevinside 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 is easier on the people living there.
How it works
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- 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
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price

Advice
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Questions from Chevinside
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
