DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Bath re-enamelling in Benover, done in place
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about worn patches where water runs and sits and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Benover
Often the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Stains that will not shift
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
What to look for in a quote
- What aftercare is recommended
- If travel is included in the price
- What protection goes down before work starts

What we cannot put right
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A metal bath with a through crack
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

How long will the bath be out of use?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes the best part of a day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Benover, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Store bottles off the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
