Bath re-enamelling in Portmore without replacing anything
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We regularly repair cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Portmore: your questions answered
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.
What we are called out for in Portmore
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, generally first under the taps and around the waste.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Several chips and rust patches
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- An old resurfacing that is failing
Questions to ask before booking
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- When it can be used again
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
Repair or replace in Portmore?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- A fixed quote before you book
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Nothing taken out or refitted
Read our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Store bottles off the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Landlord and trade work in Portmore
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Portmore use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow most of the day, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
