Bath Re-enamelling for Machroes homes
Bath re-enamelling for Machroes, without a refit. Send us photos for a fixed price, then we come to you.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Bath re-enamelling in Machroes, done in place
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people contact us are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and wear marks under the taps.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Common questions in Machroes
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Respect the curing time we give you
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Advice
Should you replace it?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day, with the bath back in use the next day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
