Bath Re-enamelling for Timbercliffe homes
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing in Timbercliffe, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350

How it works
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a full day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Advice
Bath re-enamelling in Timbercliffe without replacing anything
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. If you’re dealing with a coloured bath you want in white and several chips and rust patches, we can help, on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

What else we do in Timbercliffe
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Timbercliffe questions
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your OL15 postcode.
Do you cover the entire of Rochdale?
Everywhere in the UK, Timbercliffe included. Travel is included in the price.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
What affects the price in Timbercliffe
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For a price in Timbercliffe, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Timbercliffe?
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Several chips and rust patches
- Stains that won’t shift
