About our bath re-enamelling in Uplowman
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and thin, worn enamel in places.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Uplowman
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Uplowman and the rest of Devon. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Uplowman
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What happens on the day
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Uplowman
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
