Bath re-enamelling in Sheffield, done in place
We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Typical jobs include an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, in cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A bath split right through the body
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a full day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
What you get with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- One price list for the whole UK
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Sheffield: your questions answered
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Are there extra charges for Sheffield?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Respect the curing time we give you
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What we’re called out for in Sheffield
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- Wear marks under the taps
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
