DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
About our bath re-enamelling in Uphill
We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. If you are dealing with an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and lots of chips and rust spots, we can help.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

FAQs for Uphill
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Typically, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from photos
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your BS23 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Uphill?
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Several chips and rust patches
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A coating lifting around the plughole
Questions to ask before booking
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who turns up on the day
- When it can be used again
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Landlords, agents and businesses in Uphill
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Uphill use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

What your bath is made of matters
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.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow most of the day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage
