Bath re-enamelling at your home in Bengate
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Repairing versus replacing in Bengate
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Bengate. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why book with us
- Colour-matched on site
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- We leave the room as we found it

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Bengate
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Never use suction bath mats
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
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. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Common questions in Bengate
How long does re-enamelling last?
Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
