Bath re-enamelling in Benchill without replacing anything
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Typical jobs include stains that won’t shift and a roll-top that’s seen better days, across pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Benchill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Store bottles off the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
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. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Benchill questions
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you cover the entire of Greater Manchester?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Benchill. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
