How we handle bath re-enamelling in Sibley's Green

We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It typically takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Whether it’s a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and thin, worn enamel in places, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

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

Repairing versus replacing in Sibley's Green

Questions from Sibley's Green

How long is the bath unusable?

Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

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

Will the bath be moved?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Sibley's Green. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Advice

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

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

Honest limits

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

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Steel that has corroded right through

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Sibley's Green. The price reflects:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Sibley's Green. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode

You do not 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 reply with a fixed quote.
