About our bath re-enamelling in Aston Upthorpe
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are lots of chips and rust spots and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A bath split right through the body
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
