Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Bath re-enamelling in South Poorton, done in place
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Common call-outs are for a coloured bath you want in white and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, across cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including South Poorton. What changes the price is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole bath
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Landlords, agents and businesses in South Poorton
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Never use suction bath mats
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

South Poorton questions
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in South Poorton?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Are there extra charges for South Poorton?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A metal bath with a through crack
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Should you replace it?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
