Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Bath re-enamelling in Blackhall Rocks, done in place
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We are often asked to fix an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a coating lifting around the plughole, on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Have chips seen to early
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Holes rusted through the metal
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Landlords, agents and businesses in Blackhall Rocks
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Blackhall Rocks as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to most of the day, tidy-up included.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
