Bath Re-enamelling in Woolgarston
We travel to Woolgarston for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
When to call us in Woolgarston
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.
Look out for any of the following:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
Before you book anyone
- When it can be used again
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Woolgarston
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We’re frequently asked to fix an outdated colour you’d like to change and chips and rust in more than one place, on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Woolgarston questions
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Are there extra charges for Woolgarston?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A bath that is rusted through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Repair or replace in Woolgarston?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Woolgarston

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Repair dripping taps early
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes the best part of a day.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
