About our bath re-enamelling in Upton
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We regularly repair cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about a coating lifting around the plughole and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Common questions in Upton
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Upton. Prices don’t change with location.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

For anyone letting property in or around Upton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Repair or replace: which is better?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Common problems we fix in Upton
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
The things clients usually mention when they call are:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Stains that won’t shift
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
What to look for in a quote
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether the price covers travel
- How long it needs to cure
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for most of the day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- 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
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
