Bath re-enamelling for Chadderton Fold homes

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

About our bath re-enamelling in Chadderton Fold

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are a coating lifting around the plughole and several chips and rust patches.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A bath split right through the body

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Chadderton Fold

  • Acrylic baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Cast iron baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Pressed steel baths

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Chadderton Fold: your questions answered

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will there be fumes?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Chadderton Fold

Often the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

What your quote should include

  • What preparation is included
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
