Bath repair, re-enamelling and shower tray repair across Portobello, Joppa and Duddingston. Seaside Victorian villas and terraces, many with their original bathrooms.
Local property
Portobello was built as a Victorian seaside resort and it still looks like one. The promenade villas and the terraces behind them date largely from the 1860s to the 1900s, and a striking number retain original cast iron baths, fireclay basins and period tiling.
Portobello's housing stock has been steadily gentrified over the past two decades, and owners buying into a Victorian villa here are generally not looking to strip the bathroom out and fit acrylic. They want the original restored.
What we see
Salt air is the local factor. Properties on the promenade and the streets immediately behind it see accelerated corrosion at any point where enamel has chipped and exposed bare metal. A chip that would sit harmlessly for years inland will bloom into rust here within a season.
Which makes early chip repair genuinely worth doing in Portobello, rather than something to get round to.
