Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole bath

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Litchurch
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and chips and rust in more than one place.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Litchurch and across Derby.

Should you replace it?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Why book with us
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Work done at your home or business
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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.
Common questions in Litchurch
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Do you come to Litchurch?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Litchurch from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A bath that is rusted through
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Derby and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
