Bath re-enamelling in Dunmurry, done in place
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We’re frequently asked to fix worn patches where water runs and sits and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice
What affects the price in Dunmurry
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Repairing versus replacing in Dunmurry
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Repairs by material

Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Dunmurry?
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, generally first under the taps and around the waste.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Stains that won’t shift
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Wear marks under the taps

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
