How we handle bath re-enamelling in Church Hill
We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Questions from Church Hill
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Do you cover the whole of Derbyshire?
Across the UK, so Church Hill is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Do you come to Church Hill?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Church Hill from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
When to call us in Church Hill
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Several chips and rust patches
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
Questions to ask before you book
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Have chips seen to early
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Repair or replace in Church Hill?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
