How we handle bath re-enamelling in Friezland

We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are staining under the taps and around the waste and a coating lifting around the plughole.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Oldham.

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can

Related advice

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Most customers in Friezland get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Friezland questions

Are there extra charges for Friezland?

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

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

How long does re-enamelling take?

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

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Friezland?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

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.

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.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

Repair or replace in Friezland?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
