Bath re-enamelling in Upottery without replacing anything
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Common call-outs are for stains that won’t shift and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes the best part of a day in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

When we’d advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Upottery?
Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Wear marks under the taps
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
What your quote should include
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- When it can be used again
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
FAQs for Upottery
Will the new finish last?
Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Upottery is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Repair or replace in Upottery?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Upottery. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
