How we handle bath re-enamelling in Woodstock

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. If you are dealing with an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can help.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Common questions in Woodstock

Is there any odour?

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

Will there be fumes?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

Will the new finish last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Oxfordshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Repair or replace in Woodstock?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • A fixed quote before you book

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

  • Steel that has corroded right through

Landlords, agents and businesses in Woodstock

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take most of the day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
