How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your NG23 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Upton
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. If you’re dealing with an old resurfacing that’s failing and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can help, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repairing versus replacing in Upton
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Upton
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Typically, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Upton?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your NG23 postcode.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
How long is the bath unusable?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a full day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- 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 on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park
