About our bath re-enamelling in Porlock
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. If you’re dealing with an old resurfacing that’s failing and wear marks under the taps, we can normally put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths alike.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

FAQs for Porlock
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Do you cover Porlock?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Porlock and the rest of Somerset. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Landlord and trade work in Porlock
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Porlock as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
If you manage property in Porlock, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes most of the day. The room is left tidy.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Have chips seen to early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Porlock
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Chips and rust in more than one place

Repair or replace: which is better?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
