How we handle bath re-enamelling in Portland
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Common call-outs are for lots of chips and rust spots and worn patches where water runs and sits, across pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Portland. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Portland. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Portland use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Repair dripping taps early
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a full day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Should you replace it?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
