Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Idridgehay, Derbyshire
We travel to Idridgehay for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Lots of chips and rust spots
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Bath re-enamelling in Idridgehay without replacing anything
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It typically takes one visit, and can be used again the following day. We regularly repair acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Stains that won’t shift

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Idridgehay
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths, ready the next day. We give you timings with the quote.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you cover Idridgehay?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Idridgehay from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Get a quote
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A bath that is rusted through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A bath split right through the body
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Have chips seen to early
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Repair or replace in Idridgehay?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- A year’s guarantee on all work
