How we handle bath re-enamelling in Upgate
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. If you’re dealing with thin, worn enamel in places and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can usually put it right.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Common questions in Upgate
Do you cover the whole of Norfolk?

Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do you hold any accreditations?

How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Fix dripping taps quickly
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
