Bath re-enamelling in Upton without replacing anything
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a roll-top that’s seen better days and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cumbria.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Upton
Are there extra charges for Upton?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Upton?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Have chips seen to early
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the entire bath
For a price in Upton, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Upton
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes the best part of a day. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CA7 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Related advice
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
