Bath re-enamelling at your home in Upper Street
We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the day after. Typical jobs include a bath in a colour that no longer suits and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Questions from Upper Street
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Typically, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Have chips seen to early
- Store bottles off the bath
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What we’re called out for in Upper Street
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Several chips and rust patches
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a full day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Different materials, different repairs
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 the part we put right.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
What affects the price in Upper Street
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
When we would advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A bath split right through the body
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
