How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Repair dripping taps early

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

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Bath re-enamelling in Gibbet Hill, done in place

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. Common call-outs are for thin, worn enamel in places and chips and rust in more than one place, in Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Gibbet Hill. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Common questions in Gibbet Hill

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do you cover Gibbet Hill?

We do. Technicians travel to Gibbet Hill from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

What we’re called out for in Gibbet Hill

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

What to look for in a quote

  • What preparation is included
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • When it can be used again
  • What happens if they find more damage

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

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 is what we repair.

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to most of the day.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
