Bath re-enamelling for Woll homes

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Woll

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. If you are dealing with chips and rust in more than one place and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can normally put it right.

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

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Compared with replacing, 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.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Details of any past repairs

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

When to call us in Woll

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.

People typically call us after spotting something like this:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What preparation is included
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How to look after the finish

Questions from Woll

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Why repair rather than replace?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • No extra charge for your area

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Respect the curing time we give you

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Steel that has corroded right through

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a full day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  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 next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Woll

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
