Repair or replace in Sharrow?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

About our bath re-enamelling in Sharrow

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Common call-outs are for brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a coating lifting around the plughole, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes the best part of a day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Related advice

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

What affects the price in Sharrow

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Sharrow. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Landlord and trade work in Sharrow

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

For anyone letting property in or around Sharrow, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Common problems we fix in Sharrow

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, normally first under the taps and around the waste.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

What to look for in a quote

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if they find more damage

How to compare quotes

Questions from Sharrow

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Do you cover the entire of Sheffield?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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