Bath re-enamelling in Woodthorpe without replacing anything
We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It generally takes one visit, and can be used again the day after. We regularly repair acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are wear marks under the taps and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Woodthorpe
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you cover Woodthorpe?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Woodthorpe from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What else we do in Woodthorpe
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Repair dripping taps early
- Respect the curing time we give you
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Common problems we fix in Woodthorpe
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Several chips and rust patches
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- When it can be used again

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How it 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 work takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
