Bath re-enamelling in Rough Knarr, done in place
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. If you are dealing with an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and chips and rust in more than one place, we can help, on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Rough Knarr and across Oldham.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Common questions in Rough Knarr
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you work in Rough Knarr?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Rough Knarr from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
