About our bath re-enamelling in Darley Dale
We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It normally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Darley Dale questions
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
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 fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
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 re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a full day.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the area is dry

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Repair or replace: which is better?
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. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
