DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
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.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Upper Town
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Typical jobs include a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, across acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- 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.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
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.
Upper Town: your questions answered
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Upper Town?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Generally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Should you replace it?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
