How we handle bath re-enamelling in Ollaberry
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the day after. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Whether it’s brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can generally put it right, on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Ollaberry
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Store bottles off the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Common questions in Ollaberry
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Do you come to Ollaberry?
We do. Technicians travel to Ollaberry from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the following day.

What else we do in Ollaberry
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
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’s the part we put right.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Ollaberry. The price comes down to:
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Why repair rather than replace?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
