Bath re-enamelling in Ogston, done in place
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We are frequently asked to fix a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Derbyshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ogston use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Wear marks under the taps

Repairing versus replacing in Ogston
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes most of the day. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Repair dripping taps early
- Never use suction bath mats
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Steel that has corroded right through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
