Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Woodford

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Typical jobs include worn patches where water runs and sits and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes most of the day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Common problems we fix in Woodford

Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

FAQs for Woodford

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Should you replace it?

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One visit for most repairs
  • No extra charge for your area

Landlord and trade work in Woodford

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Woodford

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

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

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

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
