Bath re-enamelling in Southey Green without replacing anything
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about lots of chips and rust spots and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Southey Green questions
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Southey Green and the rest of Sheffield. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Southey Green. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- The type of damage
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Southey Green. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
The process
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for the best part of a day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the area is dry

What we’re called out for in Southey Green
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Common reasons people in Southey Green contact us are:
- Several chips and rust patches
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
Comparing quotes
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How to look after the finish
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A bath split right through the body
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
