What affects the price in Woodditton
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Woodditton. The price reflects:
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Bath re-enamelling in Woodditton without replacing anything
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. If you’re dealing with brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can help, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays

When to call us in Woodditton

- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

What else we do in Woodditton
Why repair rather than replace?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for most of the day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
