When to call us in Blakestones
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
People typically call us when they notice something like this:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

About our bath re-enamelling in Blakestones
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about an old resurfacing that’s failing and an outdated colour you’d like to change.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A metal bath with a through crack
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
