Landlord and trade work in Salford
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Oxfordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Salford
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Whether it’s an outdated colour you’d like to change and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can typically put it right, on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
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 usually the cheaper route.
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Fix dripping taps quickly
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Salford: your questions answered
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Salford?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes most of the day. The room is left tidy.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
You don’t 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 will reply with a fixed price.
