Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Fritchley, Derbyshire

- Resurfacing from £350
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Thin, worn enamel in places
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Fritchley
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Typical jobs include thin, worn enamel in places and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, in basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Fritchley and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths

Landlords, agents and businesses in Fritchley
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Advice
Fritchley: your questions answered
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Fritchley?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Do you cover the whole of Derbyshire?
We cover the entire UK, including Fritchley and the rest of Derbyshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Something in shot to show the size
Most clients in Fritchley get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Repairing versus replacing in Fritchley
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Fritchley. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Respect the curing time we give you
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
