Bath Re-enamelling for Farhill homes
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing for homes and businesses in Farhill and across Derbyshire. Free, fixed quotes from your photos.
- Resurfacing from £350

- An outdated colour you’d like to change
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Have chips seen to early
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
About our bath re-enamelling in Farhill
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. We’re often asked to fix a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and an old resurfacing that’s failing, in pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Farhill questions
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Do you work in Farhill?
We do. Technicians travel to Farhill from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
How long is the bath unusable?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

When to call us in Farhill
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
The things customers typically mention when they call include:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
Comparing quotes
- Aftercare advice
- What happens if they find more damage
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How the room is protected while they work
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Farhill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
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.
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Holes rusted through the metal
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
Repairing versus replacing in Farhill
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Farhill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why book with us
- No need to remove anything
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- A fixed quote before booking
- Most jobs done in one visit

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
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 the part we put right.
