Bath re-enamelling in Holme Pierrepont, done in place
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is typically the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. If you are dealing with stains that won’t shift and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can help, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths alike.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, with the bath ready the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Holme Pierrepont questions
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Nottinghamshire.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Common problems we fix in Holme Pierrepont
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Stains that will not shift
What your quote should include
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Never use suction bath mats
- Have chips seen to early
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
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.
How it works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
