Bath re-enamelling in Hollingworth, done in place

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

FAQs for Hollingworth

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you work in Hollingworth?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Hollingworth and the rest of Tameside. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day, with the bath back in use the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes the best part of a day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Related advice

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Common problems we fix in Hollingworth

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, typically first under the taps and around the waste.

The things customers normally mention when they call are:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

Before you book anyone

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How to care for the finish
  • Who will actually do the work
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Roll-top and period baths

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

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Hollingworth

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hollingworth

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hollingworth as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
