- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- 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.

Advice
Bath re-enamelling in Blackgang without replacing anything
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Typical jobs include an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, in Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Have chips seen to early
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Avoid suction-cup mats
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully 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.
Landlord and trade work in Blackgang
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
If you manage property in Blackgang, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Common questions in Blackgang
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Isle of Wight, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you work in Blackgang?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Blackgang. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Should you replace it?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
