When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

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

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

What we work on

  • Pressed steel baths

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed price

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

Most clients in Scarcliffe get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repairing versus replacing in Scarcliffe

Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No need to remove anything

See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Scarcliffe

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Scarcliffe: your questions answered

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Derbyshire.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Scarcliffe?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Will there be fumes?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

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.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a full day, including clearing up.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your S44 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
