About our bath re-enamelling in Bentilee
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. We’re often asked to fix brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

FAQs for Bentilee
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It generally takes the best part of a day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Related advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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.
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.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Bentilee
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Stains that will not shift
- Thin, worn enamel in places
Questions to ask before booking
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Who turns up on the day
- What prep work is covered
- How to care for the finish
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Bentilee. The price depends on:
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Bentilee
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Stoke-on-Trent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
If you manage property in Bentilee, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally 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. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Bentilee. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
