- Thin, worn enamel in places
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Bath re-enamelling in Coleraine without replacing anything
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are a roll-top that’s seen better days and a coloured bath you want in white.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Landlord and trade work in Coleraine
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Common questions in Coleraine
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Are there extra charges for Coleraine?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Coleraine and the rest of Coleraine. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Repair or replace in Coleraine?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

When to call us in Coleraine
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, generally first under the taps and around the waste.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An outdated colour you’d like to change

- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What preparation is included
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What aftercare is recommended

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow most of the day, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job.
Advice
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
