Common problems we fix in Woodford
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
Comparing quotes
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Who turns up on the day
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SK7 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Steel that has corroded right through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
Repair or replace in Woodford?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Are there extra charges for Woodford?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to most of the day.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
