About our bath re-enamelling in Upton Noble
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. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Upton Noble. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Upton Noble questions
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Repairing versus replacing in Upton Noble

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
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.
When to call us in Upton Noble
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Wear marks under the taps
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
What your quote should include
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- What preparation is included
- Who will actually do the work
- How to look after the finish

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
