Bath re-enamelling at your home in Knockentiber
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are an old resurfacing that’s failing and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.

Prices and what affects them

Quotes from your pictures

- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus

- One picture of the entire bath

The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes most of the day in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price

Advice
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Have chips seen to early
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure 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.
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.
Repair or replace in Knockentiber?
There are times replacing is better: 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. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Knockentiber questions
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Knockentiber.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
