Bath Enamel Repair in Ireland
Restore Your Bath’s Shine with Expert Enamel Repairs
A damaged or worn bath can dramatically affect the look and function of your bathroom. In many homes across Ireland, particularly in older properties throughout counties such as Antrim, Down, Armagh, and Londonderry, baths often lose their original enamel surface over time. This degradation can lead to staining, chipping, discoloration, and rough textures that not only look unsightly but also pose hygiene concerns. Replacing a bath can be costly, time-consuming, and disruptive to your daily routine. Thankfully, bath enamel repair offers a more efficient and cost-effective alternative.

Whether it's a cast iron, acrylic, or steel tub, bath enamel repair restores the surface to a smooth, glossy finish, extending the life of the bath and improving the overall appearance of the space.

With years of experience serving Ireland, we offer a trusted, local solution to bath restoration needs—delivering exceptional finishes across homes, hotels, guesthouses, and rental properties.
Key Benefits of Bath Enamel Repair
Cost-Effective Alternative to Replacement
Replacing a bath can involve plumbing, tile work, and days of labour. Enamel repair eliminates these extra costs while delivering an equally refreshed look and feel. This service offers significant savings, particularly for property owners managing multiple bathrooms.
Time-Saving Solution
The repair and re-enamelling process typically takes less than a day. This fast turnaround means homeowners in cities like Belfast and Armagh can resume bathroom use with minimal disruption to their schedule.
Eco-Friendly Restoration
Choosing repair over replacement prevents old bathtubs from ending up in landfill. It reduces waste and eliminates the environmental cost of manufacturing and transporting a new bath—supporting sustainability in homes throughout Ireland.
Durable and Long-Lasting Finish
High-quality enamel coatings used in the restoration process ensure that the new surface resists wear, discolouration, and scratches. The finish remains strong for years, even under frequent use, making it ideal for busy family homes and rental properties.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the bath enamel repair process take?
Most standard repair or re-enamelling jobs are completed within 4 to 6 hours. The bath will need to cure for at least 24 hours before use, depending on the coating system used and local humidity levels.
Will the repaired surface look like a brand-new bath?
Yes, once fully cured, the surface will have a smooth, glossy, and clean finish. The tub will closely resemble a new bath both in appearance and feel, especially after a full re-enamelling service.
Is bath enamel repair suitable for all types of bathtubs?
Our services are compatible with most materials, including cast iron, steel, and acrylic. We assess each bath before beginning to ensure it is suitable for re-enamelling or localised repair.
How long will the new enamel surface last?
With proper care, the restored surface can last up to 10–15 years. Using mild cleaning products and avoiding abrasive scrubs will help maintain its appearance and durability for longer periods.
Can you repair baths with rust damage?
Yes, we remove rust patches during the surface preparation stage. These areas are treated, filled, and sealed before the enamel coating is applied, ensuring the rust does not return.
Will there be strong fumes during the process?
We use low-odour, non-toxic products wherever possible, but there may be slight fumes during application. Proper ventilation will be maintained, and the room will be safe to enter after the curing period.
Is it better to repair or replace an old bath?
Repair is often the more practical choice, especially for structurally sound tubs. It saves money, time, and avoids the need for retiling, plumbing changes, or full bathroom renovations.
Can this service be done in rental properties?
Yes, our repair service is ideal for rental homes and apartments. It refreshes the look of the bath without requiring long-term vacancy or expensive renovations, making it a preferred choice for landlords.
