Bath re-enamelling in Great Wilne without replacing anything
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about several chips and rust patches and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Great Wilne: your questions answered
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Typically, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Are there extra charges for Great Wilne?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Great Wilne?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Great Wilne
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams 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 work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Great Wilne as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
What affects the price in Great Wilne
Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Great Wilne. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Great Wilne. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Repairing versus replacing in Great Wilne
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What else we do in Great Wilne
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Have chips seen to early
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
