What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the next day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
For a price in Ecton, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Bath re-enamelling in Ecton without replacing anything
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Typical jobs include stains that won’t shift and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, in pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Landlord and trade work in Ecton
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Derbyshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
What we cannot put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Common questions in Ecton
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Repairing versus replacing in Ecton
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ecton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
