Bath re-enamelling in Grains Bar without replacing anything
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Typical jobs include staining under the taps and around the waste and a coloured bath you want in white, across cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- A bath split right through the body
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Grains Bar use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
What affects the price in Grains Bar
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Questions from Grains Bar
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Do you cover the entire of Oldham?
We cover the whole UK, including Grains Bar and the rest of Oldham. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
