How we handle bath re-enamelling in Little Benton
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. If you are dealing with a coating lifting around the plughole and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can generally put it right, on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes the best part of a day, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- 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 generally be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have a window or extractor fan available
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.

Little Benton questions
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Common problems we fix in Little Benton
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Wear marks under the taps
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A coloured bath you want in white

Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Repair or replace: which is better?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A bath that’s rusted through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Little Benton

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Store bottles off the bath
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not 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.
