About our bath re-enamelling in Upham
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a coating lifting around the plughole and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Repairing versus replacing in Upham
Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the day after. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Upham. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

When to call us in Upham
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Steel that has corroded right through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
