Need bath re-enamelling in Bangor?

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Bangor

The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It generally takes one visit, and can be used again the following day. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and an outdated colour you’d like to change.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What your bath is made of matters

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.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

FAQs for Bangor

Are there extra charges for Bangor?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across North Down.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What affects the price in Bangor

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

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 to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 will not last.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Should you replace it?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Bangor. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Bangor

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Stains that will not shift

Before booking anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Aftercare advice

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
