Bath re-enamelling in Woodlands, done in place

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. We are often asked to fix a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, across cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Woodlands

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Woodlands customers choose us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Have chips seen to early

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take most of the day, including clearing up.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is

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

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job without visiting.

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

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Woodlands: your questions answered

Are there extra charges for Woodlands?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Typically, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.

Will there be fumes?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Woodlands?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SO40 postcode.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Woodlands?

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

What to look for in a quote

  • If travel is included in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How long it needs to cure
