Bath re-enamelling at your home in Matlock Bath
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, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about a coloured bath you want in white and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Questions from Matlock Bath
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Should you replace it?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day, with the bath back in use the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Common problems we fix in Matlock Bath
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What preparation is included
- Whether the price covers travel
- When it can be used again
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A bath split right through the body
- Holes rusted through the metal
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we work on in Matlock Bath
- Basins & shower trays

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
