Bath re-enamelling in Porth, done in place
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are a roll-top that’s seen better days and lots of chips and rust spots.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Porth

- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a full day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Common questions in Porth
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Porth.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Usually, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Are there extra charges for Porth?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Porth
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Repairing versus replacing in Porth
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
What you get with us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- No extra charge for your area
- Colour mixed on the day to match

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
