Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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 normally the cheaper route.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Why repair rather than replace?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

What we do, step by step

- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Ensure the area is dry
How to get a price

Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Blackheath: your questions answered
Are you accredited?

What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

What we are called out for in Blackheath
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Wear marks under the taps
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
