About our bath re-enamelling in Portstewart
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are chips and rust in more than one place and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Portstewart and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Have chips seen to early
- Repair dripping taps early
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
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 the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Questions from Portstewart
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
How the visit works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a full day, tidy-up included.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Places near Portstewart
What else we do in Portstewart
When to call us in Portstewart
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.
The things customers generally mention when they call are:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Wear marks under the taps
Before booking anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What prep work is covered
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Landlord and trade work in Portstewart
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Coleraine and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath split right through the body
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
