How we handle bath re-enamelling in Derrington
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Common call-outs are for an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and stains that won’t shift, in pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Derrington
Do you cover the whole of Staffordshire?
Across the UK, and that includes Derrington. Prices don’t change with location.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a full day. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Derrington. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A metal bath with a through crack
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
