Trusted bath re-enamelling in Blacko

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Blacko. What changes the price is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Blacko

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Whether it’s brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can help, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a full day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Related advice

Blacko: your questions answered

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you cover the entire of Lancashire?

Everywhere in the UK, Blacko included. Travel is included in the price.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Are there extra charges for Blacko?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Cast iron baths

Different materials, different repairs

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

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Repairing versus replacing in Blacko

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Work done at your home or business
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
