Bath Re-enamelling for Duffield homes
Problem with your bath in Duffield? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
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.
Bath re-enamelling in Duffield without replacing anything
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. If you’re dealing with brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can typically put it right, on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Common questions in Duffield
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Duffield, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to most of the day, tidy-up included.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the next day.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Duffield?
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Wear marks under the taps
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
What to look for in a quote
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How the colour is matched
- When it can be used again
- What protection goes down before work starts
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A bath that’s rusted through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
