Bath re-enamelling in Uplands, done in place
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. If you’re dealing with chips and rust in more than one place and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can usually put it right.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What affects the price in Uplands
Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Uplands. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Landlord and trade work in Uplands
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Common problems we fix in Uplands
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, normally first under the taps and around the waste.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Chips and rust in more than one place
Questions to ask before booking
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What prep work is covered
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Uplands: your questions answered
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
