Bath Re-enamelling in Blakedown
Fixed-price bath re-enamelling in Blakedown and the surrounding area, normally in one visit.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Wear marks under the taps
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Respect the curing time we give you
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Blakedown
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We regularly repair acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about an outdated colour you’d like to change and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

What do you need from me?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
