Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Bath re-enamelling in Mickley, done in place
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. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and thin, worn enamel in places.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Derbyshire.

Covering Mickley
Mickley is about 6 miles north of Ripley, in Derbyshire. Jobs in Mickley are booked in like any other job: a fixed quote from your photos, then a visit to do the work. Mickley is one of 532 places in Derbyshire where we work. Our nearest city page is Manchester, about 41 miles away.
All of DE55 is covered. We regularly work on streets such as Tennyson Street, Priestley Avenue and Hawthorne Avenue and the roads around them.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a full day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Have chips seen to early
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
