Bath re-enamelling in Upper Holme without replacing anything
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Typical jobs include a coloured bath you want in white and worn patches where water runs and sits, in pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Upper Holme as everywhere else we work.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Have chips seen to early
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Questions from Upper Holme
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
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.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why book with us
- One visit for most repairs
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- No need to remove anything
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
See our prices page and bath cost comparison.
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- One picture of the entire bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Thin, worn enamel in places
