Bath re-enamelling for Nibley homes

How it works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It normally takes the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Open a window if you can

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Nibley

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We regularly repair cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about a peeling or bubbling previous coating and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Nibley: your questions answered

Will the bath be moved?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

Will there be fumes?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in South Gloucestershire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When to call us in Nibley

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

10 questions to ask before you book

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

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

Repairing versus replacing in Nibley

A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.

Why us?

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Take a look at our full price list and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

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