What affects the price in Bentley
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The material
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

- A clear, close picture of the problem area
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Bentley
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We’re frequently asked to fix a coating lifting around the plughole and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A bath split right through the body
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays

Bentley questions
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Suffolk.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Never use suction bath mats
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
