Bath Re-enamelling in Woodhouse Mill
Bath re-enamelling in Woodhouse Mill without the cost of replacing. Send us photos for a fixed price, then we come to you.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Several chips and rust patches
- Wear marks under the taps
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Woodhouse Mill. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
If you’re in Woodhouse Mill and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Should you replace it?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Woodhouse Mill. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes the best part of a day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- 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.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
