How we handle bath re-enamelling in Dethick
We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It generally takes one visit, and can be used again the day after. We’re frequently asked to fix a peeling or bubbling previous coating and lots of chips and rust spots, across acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
FAQs for Dethick
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do you cover the whole of Derbyshire?
We cover the whole UK, including Dethick and the rest of Derbyshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Usually, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
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.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Most clients in Dethick get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A roll-top that is seen better days

What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- 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.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Repair or replace: which is better?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dethick use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
