Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Portfield, Dorset
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing for homeowners, landlords and businesses in Portfield. Free, fixed quotes from your pictures.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A roll-top that is seen better days
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
About our bath re-enamelling in Portfield
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. Whether it’s a roll-top that’s seen better days and a coloured bath you want in white, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
What affects the price in Portfield
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Portfield. The price reflects:
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole bath

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
