How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- 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.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Ulpha. The price reflects:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
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. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
If you are in Ulpha and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ulpha use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Questions from Ulpha
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths, ready the next day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
