How we handle bath re-enamelling in Stanton Lees
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Whether it’s chips and rust in more than one place and stains that won’t shift, we can normally put it right.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Store bottles off the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Stanton Lees, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Stanton Lees

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Stanton Lees: your questions answered
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths, ready the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Derbyshire.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
