About our bath re-enamelling in Quarndon
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It normally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about an old resurfacing that’s failing and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Never use suction bath mats
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
When to call us in Quarndon
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Several chips and rust patches
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating

What else we do in Quarndon
What affects the price in Quarndon
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Landlord and trade work in Quarndon
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Repair or replace in Quarndon?
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 are refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why us?
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Fixed prices from your photos
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
FAQs for Quarndon
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Derby.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
The process
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
