Bath re-enamelling for Bassett homes

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Bassett

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Typical jobs include a coloured bath you want in white and worn patches where water runs and sits, across pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a full day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

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

What we work on

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

Repairing versus replacing in Bassett

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Bassett. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Landlord and trade work in Bassett

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Sheffield and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Common problems we fix in Bassett

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Look out for any of the following:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
