How we handle bath re-enamelling in Woodford Wells
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Common call-outs are for a roll-top that’s seen better days and staining under the taps and around the waste, in cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Woodford Wells and across Greater London.

Questions from Woodford Wells
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Common problems we fix in Woodford Wells
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste

- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Repair dripping taps early
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
What we cannot put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

- Cast iron baths
