Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Woodsford
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Whether it’s a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and wear marks under the taps, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally 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.
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
FAQs for Woodsford
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a full day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Landlord and trade work in Woodsford
For anyone letting property in or around Woodsford, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Have chips seen to early
- Store bottles off the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Repair dripping taps early
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.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
What affects the price in Woodsford
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The material
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
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.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
