Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Deri
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are stains that won’t shift and several chips and rust patches.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Common problems we fix in Deri
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Stains that will not shift

What else we do in Deri
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Never use suction bath mats
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

FAQs for Deri
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a full day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- 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 until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
