When we’d advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Troway

  • Basins & shower trays

Bath re-enamelling in Troway, done in place

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about a coloured bath you want in white and a roll-top that’s seen better days.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Derbyshire.

Troway questions

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow most of the day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Troway

Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • A roll-top that is seen better days

How to compare quotes

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Troway. What changes the price is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Most clients in Troway get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

For developers and builders, we fix 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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

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.

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
