Bath re-enamelling in Landport without replacing anything
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are several chips and rust patches and wear marks under the taps.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Common problems we fix in Landport
Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, normally first under the taps and around the waste.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Several chips and rust patches
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits

What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Common questions in Landport
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
