Bath re-enamelling in Blackmoor Row, done in place
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Typical jobs include brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, in basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Blackmoor Row
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. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Blackmoor Row?
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- An old resurfacing that is failing

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
