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. Common call-outs are for worn patches where water runs and sits and chips and rust in more than one place, across pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When we’d advise against a repair
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Steel that has corroded right through

Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Upton, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Store bottles off the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Upton?
Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
What to look for in a quote
- How changes to the job are handled
- What prep work is covered
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether they match the colour on site
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, with the bath ready the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
What you get with us
- A fixed quote before booking
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- No extra charge for your area
