Bath re-enamelling at your home in Wood End
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. Common call-outs are for chips and rust in more than one place and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Wood End
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to most of the day, including clearing up.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

What affects the price in Wood End
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
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. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
If you are in Wood End and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Why repair rather than replace?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day, with the bath back in use the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Wood End. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Same prices wherever you are

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Never use suction bath mats
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
