When to call us in Portway
Often the bath has just had decades of use. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Stains that won’t shift
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
Questions to ask before you book
- Who will actually do the work
- How soon you can use it again
- What aftercare is recommended
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Portway. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why book with us
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Work done at your home or business
- Nothing taken out or refitted

Portway: your questions answered
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Portway is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Portway
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Portway 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.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Portway. What changes the price is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
How it works
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
