Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Woodlane, Shropshire
Bath re-enamelling in and around Woodlane: a fixed quote from photos, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Thin, worn enamel in places
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Bath re-enamelling in Woodlane, done in place
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Common call-outs are for thin, worn enamel in places and staining under the taps and around the waste, across Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What else we do in Woodlane
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Woodlane as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Woodlane. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One picture of the whole bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
When to call us in Woodlane
Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A coating lifting around the plughole
Before you book anyone
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Repairing versus replacing in Woodlane
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can tenants book a repair?

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a full day. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
