Bath re-enamelling at your home in Copnor
We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the day after. Common call-outs are for brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Copnor and across Portsmouth.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Have chips seen to early
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Repair dripping taps early
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
What we’re called out for in Copnor
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.
Look out for these signs:
- Several chips and rust patches
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Aftercare advice
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
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. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why Copnor clients choose us
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Landlord and trade work in Copnor
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- 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.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the area is dry
