Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Blackwell. The price reflects:
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a full day. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Get a quote
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Repair or replace in Blackwell?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Why us?
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- We leave the room as we found it
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Fixed prices from your pictures

Common questions in Blackwell
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Store bottles off the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
