DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Woodthorpe
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the day after. Nothing is disconnected or removed. If you’re dealing with an outdated colour you’d like to change and several chips and rust patches, we can generally put it right, on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays alike.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Woodthorpe as everywhere else we work.

Common questions in Woodthorpe
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Woodthorpe?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
How do I book?

- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Advice
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- A bath that is rusted through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Woodthorpe

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Woodthorpe?
Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How your room will be protected
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Landlords, agents and businesses in Woodthorpe
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Rental properties take more wear, 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.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Woodthorpe. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
