Bath re-enamelling in Blackfen without replacing anything
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Typical jobs include a coating lifting around the plughole and chips and rust in more than one place, across basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.
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.

What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repairing versus replacing in Blackfen
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. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why book with us
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Same prices wherever you are
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Blackfen?
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Look out for any of the following:
- Wear marks under the taps
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A coating lifting around the plughole
Before booking anyone
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What happens if they find more damage
- How your room will be protected
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
What happens on the day
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take most of the day.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Common questions in Blackfen
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
