Bath re-enamelling at your home in Cosham
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Common call-outs are for lots of chips and rust spots and thin, worn enamel in places, on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Covering Cosham
Cosham is about 2 miles south-west of Purbrook, in Portsmouth. From the centre of Cosham to the outlying streets, the service is the same: a fixed quote, a tidy visit and a guarantee. We cover 19 places across Portsmouth, from the larger towns to small villages. Our jobs stretch from Cosham to London (62 miles away).
We cover every part of PO6, PO3 and PO2 and the streets around it. That includes homes on Dean Road, Park Lane and Elgin Road. Being close to the A397, Cosham is simple for us to get to. Neighbouring places we cover include Wymering (1 mile north-west), Hilsea (1 mile south), Drayton (1 mile east), Widley (1 mile north-east) and Paulsgrove (1 mile west).

Also close by are Alexandra Park (1.3 miles south-west), UTC Portsmouth (0.8 miles south) and Court Lane Junior Academy (less than half a mile east). Cosham has its own railway station: Cosham station. Further afield, we also cover the area around Tricorn Centre (2.9 miles south) and World War I Remembrance Centre (1 mile south-east). Not far away are Southmoor Nature Reserve and Portsdown Hill.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes most of the day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Common problems we fix in Cosham
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Lots of chips and rust spots

Common questions in Cosham
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Cosham is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Cosham?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Cosham. What changes the price is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
