Bath re-enamelling at your home in Woodseats
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about worn patches where water runs and sits and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Why repair rather than replace?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Woodseats. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a full day.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Never use suction bath mats
- Repair dripping taps early
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on

- Victorian roll-tops

Questions from Woodseats
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Woodseats and the rest of Derbyshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Woodseats?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your SK13 postcode.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
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 the part we put right.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
