How we handle bath re-enamelling in Shardlow
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Whether it’s a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can typically put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Questions from Shardlow
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you cover Shardlow?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Shardlow and the rest of Derbyshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Store bottles off the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Other services in Shardlow
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Shardlow. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
If you’re in Shardlow and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, with the bath ready the next day. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
What you get with us
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Same prices wherever you are
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

Landlords, agents and businesses in Shardlow
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Shardlow
