Bath re-enamelling at your home in Porthloo
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. If you are dealing with chips and rust in more than one place and a coloured bath you want in white, we can help.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
What happens on the day
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your TR21 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Never use suction bath mats
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
