Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Woolhope, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Woolhope
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Woolhope and the rest of Herefordshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Do you work in Woolhope?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Woolhope and the rest of Herefordshire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Woolhope.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
Questions to ask before you book

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
- Never use suction bath mats
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
