Bath re-enamelling in Lower Upnor, done in place
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. If you’re dealing with wear marks under the taps and chips and rust in more than one place, we can usually put it right.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Lower Upnor
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Wear marks under the taps
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
What your quote should include
- When it can be used again
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether they match the colour on site
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Respect the curing time we give you
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Common questions in Lower Upnor
Do you cover Lower Upnor?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Lower Upnor from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
How long is the bath unusable?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes the best part of a day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

What else we do in Lower Upnor
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Medway and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
