Bath re-enamelling at your home in Bentley

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the day after. Nothing is disconnected or removed. If you’re dealing with thin, worn enamel in places and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Bentley and across Essex.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a full day. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

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 we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Related advice

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Steel that has corroded right through

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Basins & shower trays
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Cast iron baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Acrylic baths

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bentley use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Bentley questions

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Will there be fumes?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. Inside and out.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Typically, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Bentley. The price reflects:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

When to call us in Bentley

Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

Comparing quotes

  • How soon you can use it again
  • What preparation is included
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace in Bentley?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Work done at your home or business

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
