Bath re-enamelling in Norbury without replacing anything
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. We work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about an old resurfacing that’s failing and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Norbury and across Derbyshire.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Norbury. What changes the price is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
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.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole bath
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Norbury
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.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Norbury as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Repairing versus replacing in Norbury
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Common questions in Norbury
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Steel that has corroded right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a full day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

The most common problems we are called about are:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Lots of chips and rust spots
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
