How we handle bath re-enamelling in Uppingham
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and an outdated colour you’d like to change.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Uppingham and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Uppingham. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to most of the day, tidy-up included.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Uppingham
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Stains that will not shift
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A roll-top that is seen better days

Landlords, agents and businesses in Uppingham
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
