Bath Re-enamelling for Uplyme homes
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing in Uplyme, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Bath re-enamelling in Uplyme, done in place
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the day after. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are a coloured bath you want in white and stains that won’t shift.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done 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’s what we repair.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Store bottles off the bath
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Repairing versus replacing in Uplyme
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.
Why us?
- Everything repaired in place
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- We leave the room as we found it

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Uplyme
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Customers generally contact us about:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Stains that will not shift
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Uplyme use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Uplyme questions
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Uplyme included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
