Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Sibthorpe

Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We’re often asked to fix an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and thin, worn enamel in places, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Nottinghamshire.

How it works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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.

Questions from Sibthorpe

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

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

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.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Sibthorpe?

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Before you book anyone

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What prep work is covered
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
