What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Woodchurch
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Typical jobs include wear marks under the taps and a coloured bath you want in white, on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Why repair rather than replace?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Woodchurch
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

The process
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- 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.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
