Bath re-enamelling in Upper Green, done in place
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Whether it’s an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can normally put it right, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays alike.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Upper Green
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Upper Green included. Travel is included in the price.
Are there extra charges for Upper Green?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Upper Green. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Natural light rather than flash
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
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.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

When a repair isn’t the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A bath that is rusted through
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Repair dripping taps early
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
