Bath re-enamelling in Hood Hill, done in place
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are a coating lifting around the plughole and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Respect the curing time we give you
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Should you replace it?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
When we would advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops

Hood Hill questions
Do you come to Hood Hill?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Hood Hill and the rest of Sheffield. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Hood Hill?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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.
