Bath re-enamelling in Uppend, done in place
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Typical jobs include an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, in acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
How it works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Questions from Uppend
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What we are called out for in Uppend
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
Questions to ask before you book
- How your room will be protected
- What preparation is included

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

What affects the price in Uppend
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Never use suction bath mats
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
