About our bath re-enamelling in Upper Biggin
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We regularly repair cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and worn patches where water runs and sits.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Upper Biggin as everywhere else we work.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

Repairing versus replacing in Upper Biggin
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

What affects the price in Upper Biggin
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
