Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Bath re-enamelling in Rochdale without replacing anything
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is typically the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Typical jobs include a bath in a colour that no longer suits and thin, worn enamel in places, in acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Rochdale and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Never use suction bath mats
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Common questions in Rochdale
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do you cover Rochdale?
We do. Technicians travel to Rochdale from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Rochdale?

Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
