Bath Re-enamelling in Portsmouth

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Portsmouth

Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and several chips and rust patches.

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow the best part of a day, and we will tell you if anything changes.

1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the day after.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

• Keep suction mats out of the bath
• Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
• Store bottles off the bath
• Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

• The colour and finish to match
• The material
• Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
• Access to the area

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

• Any earlier repairs or coatings
• The material, if you know it
• Natural light rather than flash
• A wider photo showing the whole bath
