How we handle bath re-enamelling in Upthorpe
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Whether it’s brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can help, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths alike.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Upthorpe and across Gloucestershire.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a full day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the following day.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

FAQs for Upthorpe
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Common problems we fix in Upthorpe
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Look out for any of the following:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
What your quote should include
- Whether the price covers travel
- Who will actually do the work
- How to care for the finish
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
What affects the price in Upthorpe
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
