Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Draycott, Derbyshire
Our repair technicians come to Draycott for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Lots of chips and rust spots
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Draycott
We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the following day. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about stains that won’t shift and worn patches where water runs and sits.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Draycott as everywhere else we work.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Questions from Draycott
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Draycott?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
When to call us in Draycott
Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Customers normally contact us about:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A coating lifting around the plughole
