Bath re-enamelling near Wharncliffe Side

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are several chips and rust patches and a roll-top that’s seen better days.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Wharncliffe Side and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Common questions in Wharncliffe Side

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Sheffield. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Will there be fumes?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

When can you do it?

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

How long does re-enamelling last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Will the bath be moved?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

How it works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. 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 which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

When we would advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Wharncliffe Side, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
