Bath re-enamelling in Porthtowan without replacing anything
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Typical jobs include several chips and rust patches and an outdated colour you’d like to change, across pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Porthtowan
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Porthtowan 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.
Repairing versus replacing in Porthtowan
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, with the bath ready the next day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Porthtowan. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- One visit for most repairs
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Everything repaired in place

When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job without visiting.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Porthtowan. The price comes down to:
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
For most jobs, pictures 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.

What else we do in Porthtowan
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Respect the curing time we give you
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Questions from Porthtowan
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
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.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
