Materials and what they mean for the repair

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
About our bath re-enamelling in Tupsley
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are an old resurfacing that’s failing and staining under the taps and around the waste.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tupsley
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tupsley use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Repairing versus replacing in Tupsley

When to call us in Tupsley
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- When it can be used again
- How your room will be protected
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Fix dripping taps quickly
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

FAQs for Tupsley
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Tupsley included. There is no extra charge for travel.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Normally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
