About our bath re-enamelling in Balliveolan
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Typical jobs include a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a coloured bath you want in white, in cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Balliveolan and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
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.
How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A bath split right through the body
- Holes rusted through the metal

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Balliveolan?
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
People typically call us when they notice something like this:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A coating lifting around the plughole

- What the guarantee covers, and for how long

- Whether the price covers travel
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Repairing versus replacing in Balliveolan
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
