Bath Re-enamelling in Benfieldside
We travel to Benfieldside for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Benfieldside as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Benfieldside
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. Whether it’s stains that won’t shift and thin, worn enamel in places, we can help, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Benfieldside: your questions answered
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the following day. We give you timings with the quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole bath
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
If you’re in Benfieldside and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Related advice
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 are refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
What you get with us
- No extra charge for your area

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
