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.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Should you replace it?
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. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Woodland. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Woodland: your questions answered
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Usually, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths, ready the following day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Are there extra charges for Woodland?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What affects the price in Woodland
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
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 normally the cheaper route.
Landlord and trade work in Woodland
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Woodland use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
What we cannot put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths

The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Woodland, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
