How we handle bath re-enamelling in Church Gresley
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and wear marks under the taps.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

What else we do in Church Gresley
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Why repair rather than replace?
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. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

FAQs for Church Gresley
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
How long is the bath unusable?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Church Gresley?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
