Bath re-enamelling at your home in Lower Benefield
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We are frequently asked to fix an old resurfacing that’s failing and thin, worn enamel in places, on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What else we do in Lower Benefield
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
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.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes the best part of a day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
- Make sure the area is dry

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Store bottles off the bath
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Lower Benefield. What changes the price is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Lower Benefield?
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Wear marks under the taps
- Several chips and rust patches
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
Before you book anyone
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Lower Benefield
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
If you manage property in Lower Benefield, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
