Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Doehole. The price comes down to:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Doehole, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Derbyshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Repair or replace in Doehole?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- One price list for the entire UK
- Colour mixed on the day to match

What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

What else we do in Doehole
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a full day. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
Most clients in Doehole get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
