Bath re-enamelling for Blackbrook homes

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Bath re-enamelling in Blackbrook, done in place

We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the following day. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are an old resurfacing that’s failing and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Common problems we fix in Blackbrook

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

People generally call us after spotting one of these:

  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

Choosing a repair company

Questions from Blackbrook

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

How long is the bath unusable?

Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Blackbrook is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Cast iron baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Pressed steel baths

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s 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.

Repairing versus replacing in Blackbrook

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No extra charge for your area

See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Landlord and trade work in Blackbrook

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Blackbrook as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Blackbrook. The price comes down to:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Blackbrook. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes the best part of a day, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your RH5 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
