Bath re-enamelling in Higher Gamesley without replacing anything
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a coloured bath you want in white.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we cannot put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Questions from Higher Gamesley
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Do you come to Higher Gamesley?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Higher Gamesley from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What else we do in Higher Gamesley
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Store bottles off the bath
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Fix dripping taps quickly
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
Repair or replace: which is better?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

When to call us in Higher Gamesley
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
What to look for in a quote
- What aftercare is recommended
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What preparation is included
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Higher Gamesley as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Derbyshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
About our accreditations · Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.
