About our bath re-enamelling in Port Charlotte
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We regularly repair cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a roll-top that’s seen better days.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Port Charlotte questions
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Near you in Port Charlotte
Our customers here include homes close to St Kiaran’s Church. A little further out are Loch Gorm Castle (4.7 miles north) and Museum of Islay Life (within half a mile north). The countryside around Port Charlotte includes Beinn Tart a' Mhill and Loch Gorm.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What a repair can’t fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Holes rusted through the metal
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
Landlords, agents and businesses in Port Charlotte
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the area is dry
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

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.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Repairing versus replacing in Port Charlotte
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Repair dripping taps early
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Port Charlotte
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
The things clients usually mention when they call include:
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Wear marks under the taps
