Bath re-enamelling in Upper Poppleton without replacing anything
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 We work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are an outdated colour you’d like to change and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
What affects the price in Upper Poppleton
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Upper Poppleton. The price comes down to:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- 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.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Repair or replace in Upper Poppleton?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
The process
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a full day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Clients usually contact us about:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Stains that won’t shift
- Several chips and rust patches
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating

- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
