When to call us in Upperthorpe
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, generally first under the taps and around the waste.
Clients typically contact us about:
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- An old resurfacing that’s failing

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Upperthorpe
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. If you’re dealing with a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Related advice
When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A metal bath with a through crack
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
If you manage property in Upperthorpe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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 pictures, as it can add time.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Upperthorpe
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
No two jobs are quite the same, 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
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 over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
