Bath Re-enamelling in Woodseaves
Bath re-enamelling across Woodseaves and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Have chips seen to early
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
Bath re-enamelling in Woodseaves, done in place
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about a peeling or bubbling previous coating and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Most clients in Woodseaves get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
FAQs for Woodseaves
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
How long is the bath unusable?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Repair or replace in Woodseaves?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.
