Bath re-enamelling in Newry

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Newry

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Newry. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Work done at your home or business

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Newry?

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Stains that will not shift

What to look for in a quote

  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How your room will be protected
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

FAQs for Newry

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Newry included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

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. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

What we can’t put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
