Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Highlane, Sheffield
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing in Highlane, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Highlane
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We’re frequently asked to fix thin, worn enamel in places and lots of chips and rust spots, across pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Highlane
For anyone letting property in or around Highlane, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A bath split right through the body
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Highlane. The price comes down to:
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your S12 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
FAQs for Highlane
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How long is the bath unusable?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

We do. Repair technicians travel to Highlane from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes most of the day for most jobs. The room is left tidy.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
