Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Blackford, Somerset
Our repair technicians come to Blackford for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Bath re-enamelling in Blackford without replacing anything
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. We’re often asked to fix a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Blackford and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Have chips seen to early
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

What we’re called out for in Blackford
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

Blackford: your questions answered
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Will the new finish last?
Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
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.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
The process
There is 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. The job generally runs to most of the day.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
