Bath re-enamelling for Sheffield Bottom homes

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take the best part of a day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the following day.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Bath re-enamelling in Sheffield Bottom without replacing anything

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. We work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about several chips and rust patches and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Sheffield Bottom

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

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Questions from Sheffield Bottom

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Are there extra charges for Sheffield Bottom?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you cover Sheffield Bottom?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Sheffield Bottom for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

What affects the price in Sheffield Bottom

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

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

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

If you’re in Sheffield Bottom and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sheffield Bottom use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

What we’re called out for in Sheffield Bottom

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

Before booking anyone

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What prep work is covered
