- Resurfacing from £350

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Bath re-enamelling in Whatstandwell, done in place
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Typical jobs include a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, across acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Derbyshire.

How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Store bottles off the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
Common questions in Whatstandwell
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do you cover the entire of Derbyshire?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Whatstandwell. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens on the day
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Whatstandwell
If you manage property in Whatstandwell, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Whatstandwell as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Whatstandwell. What changes the price is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.
