Bath re-enamelling in Sheriff Hill, done in place
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are a roll-top that’s seen better days and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Sheriff Hill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why Sheriff Hill clients choose us
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- One visit for most repairs
- Fixed prices from your pictures

Read our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Never use suction bath mats
- 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
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Sheriff Hill. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

When to call us in Sheriff Hill
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Customers typically contact us about:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a full day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
