Bath re-enamelling in Woodston

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Woodston

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Common call-outs are for a bath in a colour that no longer suits and stains that won’t shift, in Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Woodston and across Peterborough.

FAQs for Woodston

How long is the bath unusable?

Typically one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

What happens after I send pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

When can you do it?

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

Do you come to Woodston?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Woodston for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do you cover the whole of Peterborough?

All of Peterborough, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath that is rusted through

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Peterborough and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Common problems we fix in Woodston

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
