Bath re-enamelling in Holywood, done in place
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. We regularly repair acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about an outdated colour you’d like to change and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Avoid suction-cup mats
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a full day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Repair or replace in Holywood?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Holywood questions
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Usually, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
