Repairing versus replacing in Upton Pyne
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Upton Pyne
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It typically takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about an outdated colour you’d like to change and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Upton Pyne as everywhere else we work.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

What affects the price in Upton Pyne
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a full day.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
Common problems we fix in Upton Pyne
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Several chips and rust patches
Questions to ask before you book
- Aftercare advice
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What happens if they find more damage
- How long it needs to cure
Landlords, agents and businesses in Upton Pyne
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Devon and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
FAQs for Upton Pyne
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you come to Upton Pyne?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Upton Pyne for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
