It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- An old resurfacing that’s failing

About our bath re-enamelling in Porth
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. If you’re dealing with a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and thin, worn enamel in places, we can help, on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Porth, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Porth use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Questions from Porth
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
