Bath re-enamelling in Tibshelf, done in place
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Whether it’s a coloured bath you want in white and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- 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
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Tibshelf questions
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you work in Tibshelf?
We do. We send a technician to Tibshelf for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

What we are called out for in Tibshelf
Older baths often have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Several chips and rust patches
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Wear marks under the taps
Before you book anyone
- What preparation is included
- Who turns up on the day
- When it can be used again
- What happens if they find more damage
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Never use suction bath mats
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
