DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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. If you’re dealing with enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and wear marks under the taps, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Nottinghamshire.

Common questions in Upton
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Upton?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Upton use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Upton
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How to look after the finish
- Who turns up on the day
- How soon you can use it again
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a full day. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- 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 typically ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Get a quote
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
Most clients in Upton get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A bath split right through the body
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
Should you replace it?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
