About our bath re-enamelling in Castleshaw

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Common call-outs are for enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and worn patches where water runs and sits, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a full day. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the next day.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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 fails, we can still put it right.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Castleshaw?

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

People generally call us when they notice one of these:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

Questions to ask before booking

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How the colour is matched
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How the room is protected while they work

Questions from Castleshaw

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Castleshaw and the rest of Oldham. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

How long will the bath be out of use?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

Will there be fumes?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Castleshaw. The price reflects:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
