Bath re-enamelling at your home in Youlgreave

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Whether it’s a bath in a colour that no longer suits and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can typically put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths alike.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For anyone letting property in or around Youlgreave, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • A bath split right through the body

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

What we work on

  • Pressed steel baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Acrylic baths
  • Cast iron baths

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

FAQs for Youlgreave

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Derbyshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Will there be fumes?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Youlgreave?

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Stains that will not shift
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

What your quote should include

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Our hiring checklist

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Roll-top and period baths

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