Bath re-enamelling at your home in New Mills
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We’re frequently asked to fix a coloured bath you want in white and a roll-top that’s seen better days, on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Derbyshire.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Repair dripping taps early
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a full day. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
When to call us in New Mills
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Wear marks under the taps
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if they find more damage
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Landlords, agents and businesses in New Mills
If you manage property in New Mills, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
What affects the price in New Mills
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job.
Should you replace it?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface without moving it. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
