About our bath re-enamelling in Balderstone
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are thin, worn enamel in places and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
What else we do in Balderstone
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a full day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- 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.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Landlord and trade work in Balderstone
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Balderstone: your questions answered
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Do you cover the entire of Rochdale?
The whole UK, including all of Rochdale. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire bath
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Balderstone
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Stains that will not shift
- Wear marks under the taps
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Several chips and rust patches
What your quote should include
- What prep work is covered
- Aftercare advice
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
