Bath re-enamelling in Netherthorpe, done in place
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. We work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are chips and rust in more than one place and thin, worn enamel in places.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Derbyshire.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Netherthorpe: your questions answered
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
What affects the price in Netherthorpe
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Netherthorpe. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- One picture of the whole bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Why repair rather than replace?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, with the bath ready the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

The process
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow the best part of a day from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Netherthorpe, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Common problems we fix in Netherthorpe
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Stains that will not shift
- Several chips and rust patches
Questions to ask before booking
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What happens if they find more damage
- What protection goes down before work starts
