Bath re-enamelling near Blackheath

What we are called out for in Blackheath

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Look out for these signs:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

What your quote should include

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What prep work is covered
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

Bath re-enamelling in Blackheath, done in place

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Typical jobs include brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and lots of chips and rust spots, across pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

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. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A bath that is rusted through

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Blackheath

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Surrey, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Blackheath, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Blackheath use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
