Need bath re-enamelling in Porton?

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Bath re-enamelling in Porton, done in place

Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. If you’re dealing with staining under the taps and around the waste and a coloured bath you want in white, we can help, whatever the material.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Should you replace it?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Common questions in Porton

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Are there extra charges for Porton?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Porton.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Porton. The price reflects:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes the best part of a day for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
