Bath re-enamelling in Moira without replacing anything
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Moira
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths, ready the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Usually, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you cover Moira?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Moira for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

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, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a full day.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park

How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Repair or replace in Moira?
Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
