What we are called out for in Nis
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
The things customers typically mention when they call are:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A coloured bath you want in white
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- If travel is included in the price
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
Bath re-enamelling in Nis without replacing anything
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Common call-outs are for brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a roll-top that’s seen better days, on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. 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, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Common questions in Nis
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Generally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Do you come to Nis?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Nis from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Repair dripping taps early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take most of the day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
