Bath re-enamelling near Woodhouse Green

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Woodhouse Green as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Oldham and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Bath re-enamelling in Woodhouse Green without replacing anything

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. If you’re dealing with wear marks under the taps and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can help.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow most of the day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Have chips seen to early

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Common questions in Woodhouse Green

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

How long is the bath unusable?

Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Woodhouse Green?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Will the new finish last?

Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
