Bath re-enamelling in Upcott

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Bath re-enamelling in Upcott, done in place

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Whether it’s a coloured bath you want in white and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Why repair rather than replace?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

See our prices page and bath cost comparison.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes the best part of a day, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Landlords, agents and businesses in Upcott

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Upcott. What changes the price is:

  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish

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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TA4 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Upcott

  • Basins & shower trays

FAQs for Upcott

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

How long does re-enamelling take?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.

What happens after I send photos?

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
