About our bath re-enamelling in Magherafelt
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is typically the most cost-effective option. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are worn patches where water runs and sits and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Common questions in Magherafelt
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Have chips seen to early
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
