Common questions in Tansley
Do you cover the whole of Derbyshire?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Tansley. Prices don’t change with location.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Usually, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Do you come to Tansley?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Tansley for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Are there extra charges for Tansley?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
When to call us in Tansley
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Stains that won’t shift
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Thin, worn enamel in places
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if they find more damage
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Aftercare advice

Advice
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Repair or replace in Tansley?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Tansley. The price comes down to:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
For a price in Tansley, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
