Bath re-enamelling at your home in Portadown

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Whether it’s an outdated colour you’d like to change and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can normally put it right.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Portadown: your questions answered

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the following day. We give you timings with the quote.

Does re-enamelling smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

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 happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a full day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Portadown. The price comes down to:

  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

What we can’t put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • A bath split right through the body

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Portadown?

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, normally first under the taps and around the waste.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Stains that will not shift
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Before you book anyone

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How long it needs to cure

Our hiring checklist

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
