Landlords, agents and businesses in Oldham
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Oldham and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
About our bath re-enamelling in Oldham
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We’re often asked to fix a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, in cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.
Repair or replace in Oldham?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material 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.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Oldham: your questions answered
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Oldham. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Oldham?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
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.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
