About our bath re-enamelling in Portland Bill
We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Whether it’s a roll-top that’s seen better days and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can help, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths alike.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
FAQs for Portland Bill
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Other services in Portland Bill
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
What your quote should include
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- When it can be used again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the room is protected while they work

- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.

- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
