Bath re-enamelling in Woodside

About our bath re-enamelling in Woodside

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. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a roll-top that’s seen better days and wear marks under the taps.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Steel that has corroded right through

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Woodside

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

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

What we are called out for in Woodside

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Who turns up on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a full day. We leave the room clean.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the next day.

Common questions in Woodside

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

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

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

When can you do it?

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

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
