What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Port Clarence
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are staining under the taps and around the waste and a coating lifting around the plughole.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Why repair rather than replace?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Store bottles off the bath
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A bath split right through the body
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is

Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know

Landlord and trade work in Port Clarence
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to the best part of a day, tidy-up included.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Point us to the nearest place to park
