Bath re-enamelling near Blackleach

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Blackleach

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Typical jobs include a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and staining under the taps and around the waste, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Common problems we fix in Blackleach

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

Before booking anyone

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Choosing a repair company

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Common questions in Blackleach

Does the bath have to be removed?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Blackleach?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Is there a smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Should you replace it?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a full day, tidy-up included.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
