About our bath re-enamelling in Woodend
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a coating lifting around the plughole.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take most of the day, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For anyone letting property in or around Woodend, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Woodend
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Are there extra charges for Woodend?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Common problems we fix in Woodend
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Stains that won’t shift
- A coloured bath you want in white
What to look for in a quote
- Aftercare advice
- How long it needs to cure
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What affects the price in Woodend
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Store bottles off the bath
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
