Bath Re-enamelling for Little Eaton homes

When to call us in Little Eaton
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.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- An old resurfacing that is failing
Before you book anyone
- What preparation is included
- What aftercare is recommended
- How your room will be protected
- Whether they match the colour on site
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Little Eaton
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 next day. We work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a coating lifting around the plughole.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Little Eaton questions
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes most of the day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- 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.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Landlord and trade work in Little Eaton
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Derby and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Avoid suction-cup mats
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Why repair rather than replace?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day, with the bath back in use the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
