Why repair rather than replace?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why book with us

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Bath re-enamelling in Pilsley, done in place

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are chips and rust in more than one place and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Pilsley and across Derbyshire.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed price

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes most of the day in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DE45 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

Pilsley: your questions answered

How long does re-enamelling last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Are there extra charges for Pilsley?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
