Bath re-enamelling in Ballinluig, done in place

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. If you’re dealing with enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and wear marks under the taps, we can help.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Ballinluig: your questions answered

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Ballinluig?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Will there be fumes?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Ballinluig?

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

Customers usually contact us about:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in Ballinluig

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Cast iron baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Basins & shower trays

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow the best part of a day.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Everything repaired in place
  • No extra charge for your area

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

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

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
