Blackwood questions
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across South Lanarkshire.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Bath re-enamelling in Blackwood, done in place
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are several chips and rust patches and thin, worn enamel in places.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Blackwood. The price reflects:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- The material, if you know it
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Never use suction bath mats
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

Should you replace it?
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 entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
