Bath re-enamelling in Downderry without replacing anything
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. If you are dealing with stains that won’t shift and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can normally put it right.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

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 won’t last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What we do, step by step
We turn 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 we open a single tin. Most visits take the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Repair dripping taps early
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Downderry?
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Wear marks under the taps
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- An old resurfacing that is failing

What we cannot put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
