How we handle bath re-enamelling in Chadderton
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. Whether it’s staining under the taps and around the waste and wear marks under the taps, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Chadderton as everywhere else we work.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes most of the day in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price

Advice
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Chadderton: your questions answered
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Steel that has corroded right through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Chadderton

What affects the price in Chadderton
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The material
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- One picture of the entire bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your OL9 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Chadderton?
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

Can I fix it myself?
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 typically the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
