What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

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, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Our technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and worn patches where water runs and sits.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

FAQs for Tideswell
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Derbyshire.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Common problems we fix in Tideswell
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
Customers usually contact us about:
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Stains that will not shift
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- An outdated colour you’d like to change

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Why repair rather than replace?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
What you get with us

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
