How we handle bath re-enamelling in Blackwater
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. If you are dealing with enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can generally put it right.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
For a price in Blackwater, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- One picture of the whole bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Repair or replace in Blackwater?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Why us?
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- One price list for the whole UK
- Most jobs done in one visit

Common questions in Blackwater

Do you come to Blackwater?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Blackwater from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your BH23 postcode.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
