Bath re-enamelling in Gibb Hill without replacing anything
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about thin, worn enamel in places and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Repair or replace in Gibb Hill?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Gibb Hill questions
Do you cover the whole of Cheshire West and Chester?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes most of the day. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the area is dry
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
If you’re in Gibb Hill and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
