Should you replace it?
A new 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 with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

About our bath re-enamelling in Peak Dale
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. If you’re dealing with a coating lifting around the plughole and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
When to call us in Peak Dale
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Thin, worn enamel in places
Questions to ask before you book
- Who will actually do the work
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What protection goes down before work starts
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Peak Dale. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Peak Dale: your questions answered
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Do you work in Peak Dale?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Peak Dale for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What else we do in Peak Dale
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes most of the day, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
