Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Blackhill use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
About our bath re-enamelling in Blackhill
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and several chips and rust patches.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
When to call us in Blackhill
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, usually first under the taps and around the waste.
Look out for any of the following:
- Wear marks under the taps
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Stains that will not shift
What to look for in a quote
- What preparation is included
- If travel is included in the price
- What happens if they find more damage
- Who will actually do the work
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- 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.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SO51 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Steel that has corroded right through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the next day. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- No need to remove anything
- Most jobs done in one visit

Questions from Blackhill
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
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.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
