The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Related advice
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Upper Boat
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths

Upper Boat questions
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
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.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Rhondda Cynon Taff.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Upper Boat. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
