Bath re-enamelling in Upton, done in place
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It generally takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are several chips and rust patches and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

Repairs by material
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
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a full day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Upton. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Questions from Upton
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What areas do you cover?
All of Southampton, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Repairing versus replacing in Upton
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why book with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- One price list for the entire UK
- Normally one visit, start to finish
