Blackhills questions
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Are there extra charges for Blackhills?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
About our bath re-enamelling in Blackhills

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why us?
- We leave the room as we found it
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Colour-matched on site
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
What we are called out for in Blackhills
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Wear marks under the taps
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Stains that will not shift
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
What to look for in a quote

- What aftercare is recommended
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 DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Blackhills
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Blackhills use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
