When to call us in Woodlands St Mary

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, generally first under the taps and around the waste.

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

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

Before you book anyone

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Aftercare advice

Our hiring checklist

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Woodlands St Mary

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We’re often asked to fix several chips and rust patches and a coating lifting around the plughole, in acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

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

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Woodlands St Mary: your questions answered

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do the materials smell?

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

Will the new finish last?

Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Will the price change on the day?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Woodlands St Mary as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

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 usually cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What affects the price in Woodlands St Mary

Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Woodlands St Mary. What changes the price is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

There are no surprise 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.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price.

Why repair rather than replace?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Before we arrive
