Bath re-enamelling in Blackdown, done in place
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Whether it’s a peeling or bubbling previous coating and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can help.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Blackdown questions
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Do you come to Blackdown?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Blackdown and the rest of Dorset. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
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.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Normally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Blackdown. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A bath that is rusted through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Landlord and trade work in Blackdown
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Blackdown
Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What protection goes down before work starts
- If travel is included in the price
- What prep work is covered
What affects the price in Blackdown
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What else we do in Blackdown
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
