When to call us in Ballycastle

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

People generally call us after spotting something like this:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How the colour is matched

How to compare quotes

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take most of the day, including clearing up.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What we cannot put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

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

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A fixed quote before you book

What affects the price in Ballycastle

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Questions from Ballycastle

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Are there extra charges for Ballycastle?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

How long does re-enamelling last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
