How we handle bath re-enamelling in Wood End
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We are often asked to fix stains that won’t shift and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, in acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can

What we are called out for in Wood End
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
Questions to ask before booking
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What happens if they find more damage
- Aftercare advice
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Wood End
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Wood End?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How long is the bath unusable?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
A few things move the price: 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 pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
