Bath re-enamelling in Upper Largo, done in place
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We are frequently asked to fix an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, in basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Upper Largo, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Store bottles off the bath
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Why repair rather than replace?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What affects the price in Upper Largo
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Upper Largo. What changes the price is:
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.
Send photos for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole bath
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Upper Largo: your questions answered
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
How it works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for most of the day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
