Bath re-enamelling in Mercaston without replacing anything
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It typically takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about a coloured bath you want in white and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Mercaston and across Derbyshire.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Mercaston. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath split right through the body
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface without moving it. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why book with us
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Mercaston?
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Mercaston questions
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you work in Mercaston?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Mercaston for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Store bottles off the bath
- Have chips seen to early
- Repair dripping taps early
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Mercaston as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
