About our bath re-enamelling in Port Elphinstone
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about a bath in a colour that no longer suits and lots of chips and rust spots.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

What we’re called out for in Port Elphinstone
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Wear marks under the taps
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Port Elphinstone as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
How it works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a full day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- A bath that is rusted through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Port Elphinstone. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What affects the price in Port Elphinstone
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Port Elphinstone. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
