Trusted bath re-enamelling in Northedge

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Northedge. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Bath re-enamelling in Northedge, done in place

Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are staining under the taps and around the waste and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Derbyshire.

Northedge questions

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Northedge

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Related advice

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

When we would advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • A bath split right through the body

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Pressed steel baths
  • Cast iron baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Acrylic baths
  • Basins & shower trays

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
