Trusted bath re-enamelling in Woolsington

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Woolsington

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Typical jobs include a coating lifting around the plughole and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  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. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Repairs by material

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.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price 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 photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Common questions in Woolsington

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
