Bath re-enamelling in Woodcock Hill without replacing anything
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. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and chips and rust in more than one place.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Never use suction bath mats
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Should you replace it?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

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.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
How we price bath re-enamelling
