Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Kettleshulme. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Kettleshulme
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Common call-outs are for a bath in a colour that no longer suits and an old resurfacing that’s failing, on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Store bottles off the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- A bath that’s rusted through
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
Different materials, different repairs
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 the part we put right.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Kettleshulme?
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

Kettleshulme: your questions answered
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Kettleshulme and the rest of Derbyshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
