How we handle bath re-enamelling in Tonge
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We’re frequently asked to fix a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, in basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Tonge and across Derbyshire.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
For a price in Tonge, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Tonge: your questions answered
Which areas do you work in?

Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
How the visit works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a full day.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Common problems we fix in Tonge
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
The things customers generally mention when they call are:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Several chips and rust patches
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
Before booking anyone
- How to look after the finish
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A metal bath with a through crack
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
