Bath re-enamelling in Upton, done in place
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are chips and rust in more than one place and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Upton as everywhere else we work.

What affects the price in Upton
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The material
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Repairing versus replacing in Upton

Landlord and trade work in Upton
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. 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.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Upton?
Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Several chips and rust patches
- Wear marks under the taps
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What protection goes down before work starts
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
DIY kit or professional repair?
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 generally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
Common questions in Upton
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you come to Upton?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Upton and the rest of Cambridgeshire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
