Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
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.
About our bath re-enamelling in Upper Halling
We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It normally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and chips and rust in more than one place.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

When we would advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Upper Halling use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice
Upper Halling questions
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Have chips seen to early
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
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.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Upper Halling. The price comes down to:
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Most clients in Upper Halling get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
