How we handle bath re-enamelling in Upton
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about a coloured bath you want in white and chips and rust in more than one place.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

The process
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.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- 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
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

- One price list for the whole UK
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Usually one visit, start to finish

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Upton
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Wear marks under the taps
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Several chips and rust patches
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
What to look for in a quote
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- When it can be used again
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Never use suction bath mats
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A bath split right through the body
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Upton questions
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Upton?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EX23 postcode.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do you come to Upton?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Upton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
