Bath Re-enamelling in Derwen
Fixed-price bath re-enamelling in Derwen and the surrounding area, generally in one visit.
- Resurfacing from £350
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes most of the day in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- 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.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Bath re-enamelling in Derwen, done in place
We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It normally takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. If you are dealing with thin, worn enamel in places and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can generally put it right, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths alike.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Common problems we fix in Derwen
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Several chips and rust patches
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- An old resurfacing that is failing
Comparing quotes
- How your room will be protected
- If travel is included in the price
- Aftercare advice
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Derwen questions
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Do you come to Derwen?
We do. We send a technician to Derwen for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
