Bath re-enamelling in Little Woolgarston, done in place
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a roll-top that’s seen better days and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Little Woolgarston questions
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Little Woolgarston?
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A coating lifting around the plughole

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
