Bath re-enamelling at your home in Blaguegate
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We are frequently asked to fix a bath in a colour that no longer suits and stains that won’t shift, in pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

When to call us in Blaguegate
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- An old resurfacing that is failing
What your quote should include
- If travel is included in the price
- How the colour is matched

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Never use suction bath mats
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes most of the day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Questions from Blaguegate
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Blaguegate.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Blaguegate. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
If you’re in Blaguegate and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
