How we handle bath re-enamelling in Blackstone
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Whether it’s lots of chips and rust spots and thin, worn enamel in places, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

FAQs for Blackstone
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Store bottles off the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
How it works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow most of the day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Related advice
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Blackstone
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Several chips and rust patches
- Wear marks under the taps
Questions to ask before booking
- What prep work is covered
- How the room is protected while they work
- Aftercare advice
- How the colour is matched
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Blackstone
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
