Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
About our bath re-enamelling in Spondon
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Typical jobs include a coating lifting around the plughole and lots of chips and rust spots, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your DE21 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Spondon
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you cover the entire of Derby?
All of Derby, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

How it works
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow most of the day, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Spondon, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Common problems we fix in Spondon
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating

- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How changes to the job are handled
- How your room will be protected
What a repair cannot fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
