Bath re-enamelling in Ballymena, done in place
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and chips and rust in more than one place.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

FAQs for Ballymena
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Do you cover Ballymena?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Ballymena for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
How it works
Once we are 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 by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Ballymena
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Several chips and rust patches
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- If travel is included in the price
- What prep work is covered
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath split right through the body
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Ballymena. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- One picture of the whole bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
