Bath re-enamelling for Woodhouse homes

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes most of the day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

Bath re-enamelling in Woodhouse, done in place

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Common call-outs are for thin, worn enamel in places and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, in acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Common questions in Woodhouse

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

What we’re called out for in Woodhouse

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Woodhouse. The price comes down to:

  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Woodhouse. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Repairing versus replacing in Woodhouse

A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
