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.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
What we’re called out for in Woodside
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Several chips and rust patches
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Wear marks under the taps
Questions to ask before booking
- What preparation is included
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Aftercare advice
- How the colour is matched
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Repair dripping taps early
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
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.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Woodside
If you manage property in Woodside, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, with the bath ready the next day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Why us?
- We leave the room as we found it
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Colour mixed on the day to match

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Woodside
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths, ready the following day. We give you timings with the quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Typically, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
