Bath re-enamelling in Blackboys without replacing anything
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Typical jobs include a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a coating lifting around the plughole, on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in East Sussex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repair or replace in Blackboys?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Blackboys. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your TN22 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Questions from Blackboys
Do you cover the whole of East Sussex?
We work UK-wide, so Blackboys is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
What we can’t put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A bath split right through the body
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths

What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take the best part of a day, tidy-up included.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
