About our bath re-enamelling in Denby Common
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. If you are dealing with a roll-top that’s seen better days and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can help, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Denby Common. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a full day.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
When to call us in Denby Common
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Several chips and rust patches
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A coating lifting around the plughole

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
What affects the price in Denby Common
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A bath that’s rusted through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
