Bath re-enamelling in Fingal Street, done in place
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Advice
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair

Questions from Fingal Street
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you come to Fingal Street?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Fingal Street from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Fingal Street
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
For anyone letting property in or around Fingal Street, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
