Bath re-enamelling at your home in Ockbrook
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Typical jobs include an outdated colour you’d like to change and worn patches where water runs and sits, in basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What affects the price in Ockbrook
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Ockbrook, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- 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.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Ockbrook: your questions answered
Do you cover the entire of Derbyshire?
The whole UK, including all of Derbyshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Repairing versus replacing in Ockbrook
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
What you get with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- We leave the room as we found it
- One visit for most repairs
- One price list for the entire UK

Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
