Bath re-enamelling at your home in Clare
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 don’t cut corners on it. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about thin, worn enamel in places and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Repairing versus replacing in Clare
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Clare. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why Clare customers choose us
- No extra charge for your area
- Work done at your home or business
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- One visit for most repairs

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Landlords, agents and businesses in Clare
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
