About our bath re-enamelling in Upper Elkstone
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. If you are dealing with a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can generally put it right, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Advice
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Upper Elkstone. The price comes down to:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
