Bath re-enamelling in Little Woodcote

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Little Woodcote

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Common call-outs are for a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and stains that won’t shift, across acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

When to call us in Little Woodcote

Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Wear marks under the taps

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How changes to the job are handled

Choosing a repair company

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Little Woodcote

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a full day. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  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. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Repair or replace: which is better?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Everything repaired in place

Read our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

If you manage property in Little Woodcote, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
