Bath re-enamelling for Woodlands homes

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Woodlands

If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are thin, worn enamel in places and a coating lifting around the plughole.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Woodlands

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

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.

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

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you work in Woodlands?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Woodlands from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a repair can’t fix

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Woodlands

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

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

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

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

What we’re called out for in Woodlands

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

What to look for in a quote

  • How the colour is matched
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What protection goes down before work starts

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
