Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Oakenshaw
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Whether it’s a coloured bath you want in white and several chips and rust patches, we can help, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths alike.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
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.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
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.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Holes rusted through the metal
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Common questions in Oakenshaw
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a full day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
