Bath re-enamelling near Woolley

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

About our bath re-enamelling in Woolley

We’re often asked to fix wear marks under the taps and a coloured bath you want in white, across pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Bath and North East Somerset.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Repair dripping taps early

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Woolley: your questions answered

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Will the bath be moved?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Do you cover Woolley?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Woolley from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is there a smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What we cannot put right

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Acrylic baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Cast iron baths

Common problems we fix in Woolley

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Wear marks under the taps

What to look for in a quote

  • How the colour is matched
  • When it can be used again
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
