What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Woodville
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It typically takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. If you are dealing with a roll-top that’s seen better days and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can generally put it right, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Have chips seen to early
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes most of the day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Woodville questions
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Common problems we fix in Woodville
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Common reasons people in Woodville contact us are:
- Several chips and rust patches
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Stains that will not shift
Comparing quotes

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Woodville
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
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.
