Bath re-enamelling near Wood Seats

Bath re-enamelling in Wood Seats, done in place

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. If you’re dealing with a peeling or bubbling previous coating and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can help, whatever the material.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Sheffield.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

What a repair cannot fix

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • A bath split right through the body

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

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 the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take most of the day.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Our hiring checklist

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Wood Seats

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you work in Wood Seats?

Do you need to take the bath out?

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
