How we handle bath re-enamelling in Sheffield
We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It typically takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Common call-outs are for an outdated colour you’d like to change and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.
What we are called out for in Sheffield
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.
Customers normally contact us about:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Stains that will not shift
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
What your quote should include
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What protection goes down before work starts
What your bath is made of matters
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Sheffield, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A bath split right through the body
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair

Repairing versus replacing in Sheffield
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Sheffield. The price reflects:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Repair dripping taps early
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
