About bath re-enamelling in Newtownabbey
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We’re frequently asked to fix an outdated colour you’d like to change and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, in pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- 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.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We will 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
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A bath that’s rusted through
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Newtownabbey, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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 typically cheaper.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Common problems we fix in Newtownabbey
Often the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.
The things customers normally mention when they call are:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
Questions from Newtownabbey
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you work in Newtownabbey?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Newtownabbey for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Newtownabbey included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
