How we handle bath re-enamelling in Darnall

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. Common call-outs are for lots of chips and rust spots and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Darnall and across Sheffield.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

Should you replace it?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Darnall: your questions answered

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Does the bath have to be removed?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

Will the new finish last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Darnall, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Darnall. What changes the price is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
