Bath re-enamelling in Hope without replacing anything
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Typical jobs include a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, in cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Hope and across Derbyshire.

Repair or replace in Hope?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Take a look at our pricing and bath cost comparison.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we’re 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.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your S33 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What affects the price in Hope
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hope: your questions answered
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Hope.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

What we can’t put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

- Steel that has corroded right through

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
What we’re called out for in Hope
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
People usually call us after spotting something like this:
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Lots of chips and rust spots
What your quote should include
- Aftercare advice
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
