Advice
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Portsmouth
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. We work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material
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’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
When to call us in Portsmouth
Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Several chips and rust patches
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
