How bath re-enamelling works in Craigavon
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are an outdated colour you’d like to change and several chips and rust patches.
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow the best part of a day, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.
What it costs in Craigavon
Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Craigavon. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Local landmarks in Craigavon
Our customers here include homes close to Lismore Comprehensive School, Drumgor Primary School and Brownlow Integrated College and the streets around them. A little further out are Barn Museum (1.1 miles north) and Craigavon Area Hospital (1.2 miles south-west). Green spaces nearby include Oxford Island and Lough Gullion.
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Store bottles off the bath
- Have chips seen to early
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
Customers generally contact us about:
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Stains that won’t shift
- Wear marks under the taps
- Several chips and rust patches
Common questions in Craigavon
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Do you cover the entire of Craigavon?
We work UK-wide, so Craigavon is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
