FAQs for Wardle
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Rochdale.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the following day. We give you timings with the quote.
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.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Wardle. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size

It helps to know what we cannot do:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Should you replace it?

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
