Bath re-enamelling at your home in Benham Hill
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Common call-outs are for chips and rust in more than one place and a coating lifting around the plughole, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Common questions in Benham Hill
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Benham Hill.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to the best part of a day.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Benham Hill?
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Several chips and rust patches
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Stains that won’t shift

What affects the price in Benham Hill
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Benham Hill. The price depends on:
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Have chips seen to early
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
