Bath re-enamelling at your home in Little Longstone

We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We regularly repair cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about an old resurfacing that’s failing and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Little Longstone and across Derbyshire.

Questions from Little Longstone

Are there extra charges for Little Longstone?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Will the bath be moved?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Little Longstone and the rest of Derbyshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Common problems we fix in Little Longstone

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Before you book anyone

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What prep work is covered
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How soon you can use it again

Choosing a repair company

What a repair cannot fix

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A metal bath with a through crack

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Cast iron baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Acrylic baths
  • Pressed steel baths

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Repair dripping taps early

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a full day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
