How we handle bath re-enamelling in Combs
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people contact us are worn patches where water runs and sits and a roll-top that’s seen better days.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to the best part of a day, tidy-up included.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Combs. The price reflects:
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Questions from Combs
How long is the bath unusable?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Do you come to Combs?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Combs and the rest of Derbyshire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Combs, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Other services in Combs
What a repair cannot fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A bath that is rusted through
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Combs
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Clients usually contact us about:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Several chips and rust patches
- A coating lifting around the plughole
Comparing quotes
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How the room is protected while they work
Should you replace it?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
