Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
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 what we repair.
For landlords and businesses
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.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Questions from Porthallow
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Porthallow?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TR12 postcode.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Have chips seen to early
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Porthallow
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, normally first under the taps and around the waste.
Look out for these signs:
- Stains that won’t shift
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
