Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Bath re-enamelling in Fenny Bentley without replacing anything
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. Typical jobs include a roll-top that’s seen better days and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, in Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

FAQs for Fenny Bentley
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Fenny Bentley?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
How long is the bath unusable?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
