How we handle bath re-enamelling in Ugborough
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about several chips and rust patches and stains that won’t shift.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Ugborough and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Ugborough
How long does re-enamelling take?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Ugborough?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

How it works

- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Related advice
Should you replace it?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ugborough. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why book with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Work done at your home or business
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
Read our full price list or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Repair dripping taps early
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What we cannot put right
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- 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 booking.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
