Questions from Arbourthorne
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Arbourthorne and the rest of Sheffield. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Arbourthorne
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It usually takes one visit, and can be used again the day after. If you’re dealing with lots of chips and rust spots and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can normally put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
When to call us in Arbourthorne
Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Wear marks under the taps
- Several chips and rust patches
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a full day, including clearing up.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos 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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A metal bath with a through crack
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
What affects the price in Arbourthorne
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole bath
- Any details about the material
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
