Bath Re-enamelling in Kildary
Problem with your bath in Kildary? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Have chips seen to early
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Store bottles off the bath
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.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
About our bath re-enamelling in Kildary
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Common call-outs are for a coloured bath you want in white and chips and rust in more than one place, on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays

What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes the best part of a day for most jobs. The room is left tidy.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
FAQs for Kildary
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths, ready the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Landlord and trade work in Kildary
For anyone letting property in or around Kildary, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kildary use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Repair or replace in Kildary?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
