About our bath re-enamelling in Worksop
We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It usually takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and staining under the taps and around the waste.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Worksop as everywhere else we work.

Repairing versus replacing in Worksop
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Worksop questions
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do you work in Worksop?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Worksop from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take the best part of a day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Landlord and trade work in Worksop
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders use us to fix snagging 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.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Worksop. The price comes down to:
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Respect the curing time we give you
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
