Bath re-enamelling at your home in Staveley
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Staveley
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Staveley?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths, ready the following day. We give you timings with the quote.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Will the new finish last?
Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why us?
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Colour-matched on site
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

What affects the price in Staveley
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Staveley. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole bath
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Common problems we fix in Staveley
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, typically first under the taps and around the waste.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- 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.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
