Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in North End, Portsmouth
Fixed-price bath re-enamelling in North End and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A coloured bath you want in white
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in North End
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. If you’re dealing with several chips and rust patches and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for North End. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Have chips seen to early
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
