Henbury questions
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Dorset. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
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.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Are there extra charges for Henbury?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Bath re-enamelling in Henbury, done in place
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and stains that won’t shift.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole bath
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. 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.
What we’re called out for in Henbury
Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
Questions to ask before you book
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the price covers travel
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How the colour is matched
Repairs by material
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.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a full day.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Related advice
Should you replace it?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- We leave the room as we found it
- Work done at your home or business
