Questions from Dungannon
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Will the new finish last?
Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for the best part of a day. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the day after.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know which floor the room is on

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
When to call us in Dungannon
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Lots of chips and rust spots
Questions to ask before you book
- How changes to the job are handled
- When it can be used again
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
