How we handle bath re-enamelling in Bensham
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Common call-outs are for wear marks under the taps and several chips and rust patches, across Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Bensham. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What else we do in Bensham
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Bensham?
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- Stains that won’t shift
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- What aftercare is recommended
- If travel is included in the price
- How changes to the job are handled
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A bath split right through the body
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
