What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Syke, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
About our bath re-enamelling in Syke
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. Our technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are an old resurfacing that’s failing and wear marks under the taps.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Landlord and trade work in Syke
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Repairing versus replacing in Syke
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Questions from Syke
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths, ready the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Syke and the rest of Rochdale. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Avoid suction-cup mats
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A bath that is rusted through
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Syke
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
