About our bath re-enamelling in Foston
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Foston questions
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you come to Foston?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Foston and the rest of Derbyshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
What we are called out for in Foston
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Common reasons people in Foston contact us are:
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
What to look for in a quote
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Aftercare advice
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before 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.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
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. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Landlord and trade work in Foston
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
For anyone letting property in or around Foston, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Store bottles off the bath
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes the best part of a day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
If you are in Foston and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Advice
Repair or replace in Foston?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the day after. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Everything repaired in place
- Colour-matched on site
- A fixed quote before you book

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
