Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Mill Green
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are several chips and rust patches and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Derbyshire.

The process
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Never use suction bath mats
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
What affects the price in Mill Green
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For a price in Mill Green, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Mill Green questions
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Mill Green. Prices don’t change with location.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Will the new finish last?
Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What else we do in Mill Green
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Steel that has corroded right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Why book with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Colour-matched on site
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Mill Green
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Several chips and rust patches
- A coloured bath you want in white
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
Comparing quotes
- What protection goes down before work starts
- When it can be used again
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
