Why repair rather than replace?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, with the bath ready the following day. Prices start from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What affects the price in Ceann Tangabhal
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Ceann Tangabhal. The price reflects:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A picture taken from further back
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
When to call us in Ceann Tangabhal
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Wear marks under the taps
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Several chips and rust patches

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ceann Tangabhal use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. 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.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Ceann Tangabhal, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Ceann Tangabhal: your questions answered
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Do you cover Ceann Tangabhal?
We do. We send a technician to Ceann Tangabhal for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Are there extra charges for Ceann Tangabhal?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Have chips seen to early
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Never use suction bath mats
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
