Bath re-enamelling in Thorpe, done in place
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We are often asked to fix an outdated colour you’d like to change and a coating lifting around the plughole, on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Common questions in Thorpe
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Do you cover Thorpe?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Thorpe and the rest of Derbyshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you cover the entire of Derbyshire?
Across the UK, and that includes Thorpe. Prices don’t change with location.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
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 the same day in most cases.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Thorpe
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
When to call us in Thorpe
Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, typically first under the taps and around the waste.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- If travel is included in the price
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How the colour is matched
