Bath re-enamelling for Merrion homes

Bath re-enamelling in Merrion without replacing anything

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are several chips and rust patches and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to the best part of a day.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Related advice

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Merrion

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

Customers usually contact us about:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days

Questions to ask before booking

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Aftercare advice
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

How to compare quotes

When we would advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Cast iron baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Victorian roll-tops

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Questions from Merrion

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Merrion.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Across the UK, so Merrion is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
