Bath Re-enamelling for Blackmore End homes
Bath re-enamelling in and around Blackmore End: a fixed quote from photos, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

Should you replace it?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day, with the bath back in use the following day. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

- Same prices wherever you are
- Most jobs done in one visit

About our bath re-enamelling in Blackmore End
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a peeling or bubbling previous coating and wear marks under the taps.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Blackmore End and across Hertfordshire.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
FAQs for Blackmore End
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Blackmore End as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
