Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Ford, Sheffield
Our repair technicians come to Ford for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Repair dripping taps early
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Ford
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about a coating lifting around the plughole and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Ford and across Sheffield.

What affects the price in Ford
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Ford. The price reflects:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
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 send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Landlord and trade work in Ford
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ford use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Ford
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Do you cover the whole of Sheffield?
Everywhere in the UK, Ford included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Why repair rather than replace?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
