Bath re-enamelling in Woodthorpe, done in place
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the next day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Whether it’s enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Have chips seen to early
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A metal bath with a through crack
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Surfaces we repair

- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What else we do in Woodthorpe
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Woodthorpe. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
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’s what we repair.
Landlord and trade work in Woodthorpe
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Woodthorpe use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Woodthorpe questions
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
