Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Holloway, Derbyshire
We travel to Holloway for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Thin, worn enamel in places
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Holloway
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about worn patches where water runs and sits and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

The process
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for most of the day. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the area is dry
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Holloway
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Holloway use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Holloway
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

What a repair can’t fix
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Should you replace it?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
