How we handle bath re-enamelling in Blackness
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We’re frequently asked to fix enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, in acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
When to call us in Blackness
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
The things clients typically mention when they call are:
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Several chips and rust patches
- An outdated colour you’d like to change

- Who turns up on the day
Other services in Blackness
Repairs by material
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.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Blackness
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What happens after I send photos?

Yes. Inside and out.
What happens if you find more damage?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Blackness
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Honest limits
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- A bath that is rusted through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
