About our bath re-enamelling in An t-Aodann Ban

We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It normally takes one visit, and can be used again the following day. We are often asked to fix a roll-top that’s seen better days and wear marks under the taps, across cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Repairing versus replacing in An t-Aodann Ban

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for An t-Aodann Ban. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No need to remove anything

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take the best part of a day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage
