Bath re-enamelling in Crimble, done in place
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Common call-outs are for brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, across cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Common questions in Crimble
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Rochdale.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you cover the whole of Rochdale?
Everywhere in the UK, Crimble included. Travel is included in the price.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

What else we do in Crimble
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Look out for these signs:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A coating lifting around the plughole

What a repair cannot fix

- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
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
If you manage property in Crimble, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Crimble use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
