Bath re-enamelling in Woolston without replacing anything
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Typical jobs include an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, in cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Never use suction bath mats
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Repair or replace in Woolston?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Woolston. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Landlord and trade work in Woolston
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
If you manage property in Woolston, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
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.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Woolston: your questions answered
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Do you work in Woolston?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Woolston. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
