Bath re-enamelling in Highfield

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Highfield

We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are wear marks under the taps and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Highfield

Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

People typically call us when they notice one of these:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • A roll-top that is seen better days

Our hiring checklist

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a full day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Highfield questions

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do you come to Highfield?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Highfield and the rest of Sheffield. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you quote from photos?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Does the bath have to be removed?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Repairing versus replacing in Highfield

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Read our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Respect the curing time we give you

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

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Landlord and trade work in Highfield

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What we can’t put right

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
