How we handle bath re-enamelling in Garden Suburb
We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It usually takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. If you are dealing with several chips and rust patches and thin, worn enamel in places, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Questions from Garden Suburb
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths, ready the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do you work in Garden Suburb?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Garden Suburb and the rest of Oldham. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- No extra charge for your area
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- One-year guarantee on every repair

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Get any chip repaired quickly
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

When a repair isn’t the answer

- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Garden Suburb, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to most of the day, including clearing up.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the area is dry
