About our bath re-enamelling in Hardstoft
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. If you’re dealing with worn patches where water runs and sits and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can usually put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Hardstoft?
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. The body of the bath is normally perfectly sound.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Wear marks under the taps
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Staining under the taps and around the waste

What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes the best part of a day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A bath that is rusted through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Hardstoft
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Derbyshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Why us?
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- No need to remove anything
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
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 what we repair.
