Cast Iron Bath Re-Enamelling in Ireland

Revive Vintage Cast Iron Baths with Specialist Re-Enamelling 

Over time, cast iron baths can lose their original lustre and functionality due to staining, chipping, or enamel deterioration. While these tubs are known for their durability and timeless elegance, surface wear can affect both appearance and usability. For homeowners across Ireland—from Belfast to Ballymena—restoring rather than replacing is a smarter solution. Cast iron bath re-enamelling offers a cost-effective, eco-conscious alternative to removal, allowing you to retain the character of your bathroom while renewing the bath’s finish to a like-new condition.


At Miltons Bath Repair and Re Enamelling Ireland, we specialise in high-quality cast iron bath re-enamelling using time-tested methods and professional-grade coatings. 

Our process is designed to provide a smooth, glossy finish that’s long-lasting, hygienic, and visually appealing. Many homes in Ireland, particularly older properties in areas such as County Antrim and Derry, feature traditional cast iron tubs that are well worth preserving. Re-enamelling enhances both their appearance and performance, breathing new life into classic fixtures without the cost of a full renovation.


Whether you're restoring a vintage clawfoot bath in a heritage property or updating a family tub that’s seen years of use, our re-enamelling services are tailored to meet the specific needs of each client. The result is a rejuvenated bath surface that feels and looks brand new—delivered with attention to detail, respect for your space, and regional expertise.

Key Benefits of Cast Iron Bath Re-Enamelling

Cost-Effective Restoration

Re-enamelling is significantly more affordable than replacing a cast iron bath. It eliminates the need for demolition, plumbing adjustments, and reinstallation, providing an efficient solution for property owners across Ireland who want to upgrade without incurring excessive expenses.

Preserves Original Craftsmanship

Cast iron baths have a classic, often irreplaceable charm. Re-enamelling maintains their original contours and structure while restoring the surface, making it ideal for properties in heritage-rich towns such as Armagh or Newry where period authenticity matters.

Durable, Long-Lasting Finish

Our enamel coatings are designed to withstand daily use, resist staining, and retain their shine. With proper maintenance, a re-enamelled bath can provide over a decade of reliable performance, making it an excellent long-term investment for homes across the region.

Quick and Minimally Invasive

The re-enamelling process typically takes one to two days, depending on the condition of the bath. It avoids extensive renovation work and is ideal for busy households looking for an efficient upgrade with minimal disruption.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How long does the re-enamelling process take?

    Most re-enamelling projects are completed within 24 to 48 hours, including preparation, application, and drying time. The bath is typically ready for use again within two to three days, depending on environmental conditions.

  • Is re-enamelling suitable for severely damaged cast iron baths?

    Yes, provided the structural integrity of the bath remains intact. Cracks, chips, and worn enamel can be repaired before the re-enamelling process begins, ensuring the finished surface is smooth and durable.

  • Will I need to remove my bath for re-enamelling?

    No. Our services are designed to be completed on-site, meaning there’s no need for removal or plumbing work. This approach reduces labour costs and avoids disruption to your bathroom layout.

  • How long will the re-enamelled surface last?

    With proper care and non-abrasive cleaning, the new enamel surface can last 10 to 15 years. Avoiding harsh chemicals and abrasive tools will preserve the finish for even longer.

  • Can the colour of my bath be changed during re-enamelling?

    Yes. We offer a wide range of colours, allowing you to modernise the look of your bath or match it with updated bathroom décor. Custom finishes are also available upon request.

    Absolutely. We use non-toxic, hard-wearing materials designed for bathroom use. Once cured, the surface is completely safe for adults, children, and pets, offering both performance and peace of mind.

  • What type of maintenance is recommended after re-enamelling?

    Regular cleaning with mild, non-abrasive products is recommended. Avoid bleach and acidic cleaners, as they can degrade the finish over time. Soft cloths or sponges are ideal for maintaining a smooth surface.
