Bath re-enamelling at your home in Upperton
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. If you are dealing with staining under the taps and around the waste and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Advice
Landlord and trade work in Upperton
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Upperton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
What affects the price in Upperton
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Upperton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your GU28 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Repair or replace: which is better?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. 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.

FAQs for Upperton
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
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.
