How we handle bath re-enamelling in Holt Wood
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are staining under the taps and around the waste and worn patches where water runs and sits.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
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.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Holt Wood
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
If you manage property in Holt Wood, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

FAQs for Holt Wood
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
What affects the price in Holt Wood
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole bath
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
