How we handle bath re-enamelling in Pelton
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. Our technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are an outdated colour you’d like to change and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
When to call us in Pelton
Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Wear marks under the taps
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Should you replace it?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Landlord and trade work in Pelton
For anyone letting property in or around Pelton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pelton use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
What affects the price in Pelton
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A photo taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
