Bath re-enamelling in Netherseal without replacing anything
We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the day after. Typical jobs include worn patches where water runs and sits and lots of chips and rust spots, on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.
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 Netherseal
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Will the new finish last?
Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you work in Netherseal?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Netherseal and the rest of Derbyshire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you quote from photos?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Netherseal
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
Look out for any of the following:
- Stains that won’t shift
- Several chips and rust patches
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- 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.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Repair or replace: which is better?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Store bottles off the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
