How we handle bath re-enamelling in Woodgate

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about a coloured bath you want in white and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send photos for a quote

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Woodgate, and we will reply with a fixed price.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

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

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the area is dry

Related advice

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Woodgate

Will the new finish 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.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Can landlords book you?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Will there be fumes?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Have chips seen to early
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Store bottles off the bath

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

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.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

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

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Woodgate?

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • An old resurfacing that is failing

10 questions to ask before booking

When a repair is not the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace in Woodgate?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, with the bath back in use the day after. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Woodgate. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
