Bath re-enamelling in Woodford Bridge without replacing anything

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We’re often asked to fix a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Honest limits

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Acrylic baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Cast iron baths

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

If you manage property in Woodford Bridge, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow most of the day.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Different materials, different repairs

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 is what we repair.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

When to call us in Woodford Bridge

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How the room is protected while they work

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Woodford Bridge

How long does re-enamelling last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
