Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Horsleygate, Derbyshire
Bath re-enamelling across Horsleygate and nearby, normally in one visit.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- An old resurfacing that is failing
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Bath re-enamelling in Horsleygate without replacing anything
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are chips and rust in more than one place and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Horsleygate and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Horsleygate questions
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Repair dripping taps early
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Have chips seen to early
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why us?
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Nothing taken out or refitted
See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a full day, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the following day.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
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 take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the whole bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
What we’re called out for in Horsleygate
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Common reasons people in Horsleygate contact us include:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Wear marks under the taps
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
