About our bath re-enamelling in Woodley

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Holes rusted through the metal

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

What we work on

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

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Woodley?

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.

Common reasons people in Woodley contact us are:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Wear marks under the taps

10 questions to ask before you book

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Work for landlords and builders

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

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Woodley use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Questions from Woodley

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Woodley?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

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

Will the new finish last?

Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Woodley, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
