Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re 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 doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Related advice
Bents: your questions answered
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What affects the price in Bents
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- One picture of the whole bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Store bottles off the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
