Bath Re-enamelling for Rowthorne homes
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing at your home in Rowthorne, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us

Bath re-enamelling in Rowthorne, done in place
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Typical jobs include an old resurfacing that’s failing and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Rowthorne and across Derbyshire.

What else we do in Rowthorne
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Rowthorne: your questions answered
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Are there extra charges for Rowthorne?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A bath split right through the body
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Rowthorne
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Rowthorne?
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Common reasons people in Rowthorne contact us include:
- Stains that won’t shift
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Lots of chips and rust spots

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
If you’re in Rowthorne and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
