Bath Re-enamelling for Wood Lane homes
Fixed-price bath re-enamelling in Wood Lane and the surrounding area, normally in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your ST7 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Wood Lane
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. Common call-outs are for a roll-top that’s seen better days and an old resurfacing that’s failing, across cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Wood Lane as everywhere else we work.

What else we do in Wood Lane
DIY kit or professional repair?
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 frequently lifts.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to most of the day, including clearing up.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Open a window if you can

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Wood Lane
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
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.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Is my repair covered?

Repair or replace in Wood Lane?
Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the day after. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
