Bath re-enamelling at your home in Somercotes
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the next day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Whether it’s a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can help, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Somercotes: your questions answered
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Are there extra charges for Somercotes?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Repair or replace in Somercotes?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why us?
- A fixed quote before you book
- Same prices wherever you are
- One visit for most repairs
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Somercotes. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Somercotes?
Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Look out for these signs:
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Stains that won’t shift
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
What to look for in a quote
- Who will actually do the work
- How to care for the finish
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether the colour is mixed to match

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
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 pay close attention there.
