Bath re-enamelling near Pye Bridge

Bath re-enamelling in Pye Bridge without replacing anything

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are chips and rust in more than one place and a coating lifting around the plughole.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Pye Bridge and across Derbyshire.

Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

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 the part we put right.

What we can’t put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Questions from Pye Bridge

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

How long is the bath unusable?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We give you timings with the quote.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Pye Bridge. The price comes down to:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes most of the day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
