Porthmadog: your questions answered
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you come to Porthmadog?
We do. We send a technician to Porthmadog for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

When to call us in Porthmadog
Older baths often have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Clients usually contact us about:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Chips and rust in more than one place
Before you book anyone
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the colour is matched
What we cannot put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A bath that is rusted through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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 normally the cheaper route.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow most of the day.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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 is the part we put right.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Have chips seen to early
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
