Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Lea, Derbyshire
Problem with your bath in Lea? We put it right where it is, match it on site and guarantee the work for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Lea
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes most of the day.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Lea?
Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Several chips and rust patches
- Wear marks under the taps
- A coloured bath you want in white

Lea: your questions answered
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
