How we handle bath re-enamelling in Blackpool
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are an old resurfacing that’s failing and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.
Blackpool: your questions answered
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the following day. We give you timings with the quote.
Do you work in Blackpool?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Blackpool from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
When to call us in Blackpool
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
Customers usually contact us about:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
What a repair cannot fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A metal bath with a through crack
- A bath that’s rusted through
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Blackpool as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Repair dripping taps early
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
