Bath re-enamelling in Bushmills, done in place
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. Typical jobs include staining under the taps and around the waste and an old resurfacing that’s failing, across acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Bushmills and across Moyle.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
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.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a full day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Bushmills?
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
The things clients generally mention when they call include:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How to look after the finish
- How soon you can use it again
Bushmills: your questions answered
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day, with the bath back in use the following day. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
