How we handle bath re-enamelling in Portwood
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is typically the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. If you are dealing with an outdated colour you’d like to change and lots of chips and rust spots, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Repair or replace: which is better?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Portwood
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, typically first under the taps and around the waste.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Stains that will not shift
What to look for in a quote

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Portwood. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
FAQs for Portwood
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Portwood?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Respect the curing time we give you
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
