Bath Re-enamelling in Woolwich

- Resurfacing from £350
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Woolwich
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are wear marks under the taps and an outdated colour you’d like to change.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
How it works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job.
Advice
What we are called out for in Woolwich
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
Before you book anyone
- How soon you can use it again
- How changes to the job are handled
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How the colour is matched
Repair or replace in Woolwich?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Most jobs done in one visit
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Woolwich questions
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Normally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Woolwich.
