Bath re-enamelling in West Derby, done in place
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and chips and rust in more than one place.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Store bottles off the bath
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Repair dripping taps early
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
Do you need bath re-enamelling in West Derby?
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Wear marks under the taps
Before you book anyone
- How your room will be protected
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for West Derby. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire bath
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Landlord and trade work in West Derby
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, with the bath ready the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
