Bath re-enamelling in Woolton, done in place
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We are often asked to fix brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and an old resurfacing that’s failing, across Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Repairing versus replacing in Woolton
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Woolton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Woolton: your questions answered
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you cover the whole of Liverpool?
Across the UK, so Woolton is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Are there extra charges for Woolton?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Woolton as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Woolton
Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A coloured bath you want in white
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
What your quote should include
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What preparation is included
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
